Description
Evolution Racewerks long awaited (B5) A4 Competition FMIC is now available! The best FMIC available for the (B6) A4 is now available for the B5 A4! It has all the same features including the same high density bar and plate core found in the B6 A4 Competition FMIC so you can expect the same performance and quality.
With the trend in the A4 1.8T community heading towards the “big turbo” (BT) GT28 variant (GT28R, GT28RS, GT2871R, GTRS) of upgrades and the lack of available intercoolers capable of adequately supporting these turbos, Evolution Racewerks introduced Evolution Racewerks Competition Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) kit to fill the void. While the smaller intercoolers available today are adequate for the OEM K03 and K04 upgrades, they begin to be overwhelmed by the increased need for better cooling with these big turbos popular today. Even still, on the smaller intercooler, heatsoak becomes a problem after repeated runs, even with the OEM K03 and K04 turbo upgrades. Evolution Racewerks Competition FMIC kit was designed to overcome all these issues.
All Evolution Racewerks intercooler applications come standard with a mirror polish intercooler and piping. Evolution Racewerks also offer and stock Evolution Racewerks intercooler applications with Type III Hard Black Anodizing for the guys that want the stealthy look. With the Type III Hard Anodized FMIC, it is very hard to tell there is a FMIC on the car. Most of Evolution Racewerks customers with the Type III Hard Anodized FMIC comment that unless you know there is a FMIC on the car, nobody notices it. Another added benefit of the Type III Hard Anodizing is that it makes the intercooler fins harder and stronger, which makes it less prone to getting bent/damaged from road debris like rocks etc… Evolution Racewerks opted for the Type III Hard Anodizing over the Type II color anodizing which is only asthetics for this purpose only (even though it cost us considerably more to anodize Type III than Type II). Evolution Racewerks have been using Type III Hard Anodizing on FMIC Evolution Racewerks put on Evolution Racewerks rally car customers for years which go through tremendous amounts of abuse. Testing has shown no noticeable ill-effect from the Type III Hard Anodizing on performance (regular spray paint etc… has shown ill-effects on performance). Evolution Racewerks also offer Evolution Racewerks intercoolers in any color of the rainbow you want (special order) and is available in only Type II Anodizing (asthetics). Quality is very important to us. Evolution Racewerks do extensive R&D as well as beta testing to ensure this (as some of you may already know, waiting for us to release the production units). Evolution Racewerks only release Evolution Racewerks products once Evolution Racewerks feel Evolution Racewerks have reached perfection. Evolution Racewerks do not rush to get Evolution Racewerks products out even if there is alot of potential customers. Also, Evolution Racewerks do quality checks before the intercoolers are packaged. Every FMIC is pressure tested to 50 PSI of pressure before they are shipped to ensure no leakage. Every FMIC is test fitted on the original component on the car (OEM radiator) to ensure perfect fitment. Evolution Racewerks include only high quality parts and accessories in Evolution Racewerks FMIC kit. Evolution Racewerks include detail instructions and all parts needed for installation. All Evolution Racewerks FMIC s are backed with Evolution Racewerks Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Notes:
Images are used for marketing purpose only actual product may vary!
The B5 A4 Competition FMIC requires the use of a B5 S4, B5 RS4, or aftermarket front bumper (requires no modifications to RS4 and most aftermarket bumper cover when properly installed). The factory bumper has too small a profile to properly fit a FMIC of this size and is not recommended.
