Private Label Mfg Black Heat Exchanger V2 for Audi A4 S4 B8 B8.5 3.0T 4.0T TFSI

PLM Black Heat Exchanger V2 for Audi

The PLM-HE-AD-B8-V2-BLK by Private Label Mfg. is engineered for optimal performance in Audi vehicles equipped with the 3.0T and 4.0T TFSI engines. This upgraded heat exchanger is designed to combat the overheating issues commonly faced during demanding driving conditions or when increasing boost levels.

Construction and Design

This heat exchanger features a robust all-aluminum construction, ensuring durability and effective heat dissipation. The non-epoxied furnace brazed core enhances performance by allowing for superior thermal transfer. With CNC precision machined billet aluminum necks, the PLM heat exchanger guarantees a secure fit and reliable operation.

Key Specifications

• Dimensions: 22" x 17" x 2.4" (including end tanks)
• Overall width: 24" including inlet/outlet tubes
• Dual Core / Quad Pass Design for efficient cooling
• High density fin core to maximize airflow
• Corrosion resistant coating and polished finish
• Includes bleeder and drain valve ports for easy maintenance
• Fill and drain plug: 1/4 NPT
• 100% TIG welded for enhanced structural integrity

Performance Benefits

Independent testing has shown that the stock heat exchanger can lead to an increase of over 41 degrees in intake air temperature (IAT) under stress. In contrast, the PLM heat exchanger limits this rise to just 23 degrees, allowing for sustained performance during hard runs. This significant reduction in intake charge temperature helps maintain power output, especially in high-demand scenarios.

Installation Notes

The PLM-HE-AD-B8-V2-BLK is designed for a bolt-on installation at the stock location, specifically at the front bumper support beam. All necessary mounting brackets and hardware are included, making the installation straightforward for those familiar with automotive modifications.
