AWE Tuning B8 / 8R 3.0T ColdFront Heat Exchanger

Overview

Insufficiently cooled air entering your vehicle’s engine will rob power and performance. Modified vehicles, notably those flashed and/or equipped with a modified supercharger pulley like the AWE Stage 2 Performance Pulley, are particularly susceptible to higher intake air temperatures. Enter the AWE ® ColdFront™ Heat Exchanger: Proven to maintain consistent intake air temperatures and power, even under the most demanding of conditions. The AWE ® ColdFront™ Heat Exchanger utilizes a larger frontal area, resulting in in cooler supercharger coolant temperatures, leading to better air intake temperatures and consistent, reliable power. The AWE ® ColdFront™ Heat Exchanger was developed to reduce high air intake temperatures found in supercharged engines. Designed and conceptualized in house at AWE, this should be a mandate for supercharged 3.0T engines looking to keep things consistent and reliable. The AWE ® ColdFront™ Heat Exchanger is a direct replacement for the factory heat exchanger, fitting neatly behind the front bumper and grill assemblies. This system was specifically designed by the Engineers at AWE to include a drain plug and bleed screw, allowing the system to be bled without the need for external tools. In other words, all the benefits of a cooling upgrade with none of the fitment downsides. Be sure to check out the accessories that are a part of the ColdFront™ family to maximize cooling, including the AWE ColdFront™ Reservoir and AWE ColdFront™ Coolant Pump. Please note, AWE ColdFront™ Systems are for racing use only.
