THS FMIC Kit fot VAG 2.0TDI CR

2.0TDI CR platform cars have a front mounted intercooler as standard, which provides adequate cooling for a stock car. However once boost levels are increased, either by ECU remapping or the introduction of a bigger turbo, stock coolers struggle to maintain low intake temperatures.

Many tuners are offering Stage 1 and 2 remaps for the 140 and 170 models. The THS TDI CR cooler is a great way to take your car to a stage 2 map.
 
The stock cooler forms the hangers for both the radiator and air conditioning condenser, due to this up rated cooler designs fall into one of two categories.
Keep a stock cooler in place and add additional cooling.
A new cooler which retains all the hangers for the radiator and a/c condenser.
Whilst offering more efficient cooling. and reduced pressure drop

As the stock cooler have its limitations, a small2 core and plastic end tanks
(Note Audi S3 cooler has a slightly larger core, with aluminium tanks, but restricted inlet / outlets)

 THS concluded for a number of reasons that a new high efficiency bar and plate cooler as a direct replacement for the stock cooler offers best solution and results.
No extra pipe work, keeping un-cooled air volume to a minimum, reducing turbo lag.
Removal of restrictive OEM end tanks, restrictive inlet/outlets and core.
Lower pressure drop.
No bumper trimming required.

The design

Using 3D CAD modelling the cast aluminium end tanks were designed to retain the vital hanger points necessary for the a/c condenser and radiator. New larger inlet / outlets and unique end tank shape give increased unrestricted air flow.
These are then TIG welded to a large bar and plate core. The complete cooler is pressure tested to 5bar (72psi)

The core

The THS TDI CR cooler features a Bar and Plate core. Bar and Plate core offers similar cooling properties as tube and fin systems but has the added advantage of reducing pressure drop due to lower hydraulic internal restrictions. This means that the THS TFSI intercooler has a reduced pressure drop over the standard OEM cooler and S3 cooler.
The core measures 610mm x 415mm x 57mm (24" x 16¼" x 2¼")

Pressure drop

How does reducing pressure drop help?

On the 2.0TDI CR engine the boost pressure is measured on the up-pipe after the intercooler. However the boost pressure here, or at the intake manifold will be less than that at the turbo outlet. This is because of the restriction of the intercooler and pipe work.
Connections

To connect the new THS TDI CR cooler to the cars existing charge air pipe work we have designed 2 new silicone hoses to allow for the large inlet and outlets of the new intercooler.

An CNC machined adaptor is used to connect the turbo outlet pipe to the new silicone hose. Keeping the cooler in the stock location keeps the intercooler pipe work short which means that no additional turbo lag will be experienced.
