from my stfa this is what ive come up with....
rs4 intercooler-cheaper,better quality(less welds,better endtanks for flow),less pressure drop(the cores are tube/fin with rounded edges might be the reason)
awe intercoolers-better cooling(bar/plate with 3.5" thickness)
just by looking at the intercoolers you could see that rs4 will give you the boost earlier but awe will be little cooler by the time it gets to the cumbustion chamber,question is how much cooler will awe be and how fast will the boost kick in on the rs4
anybody test the 2 on the same day on a dyno,thats the only way to find out what the intake temps are and checking the dyno graph to see how much more power the rs4 makes earlier in the rpm range
anybody have this info,tnx

spearco are 2nd only to garrett ,my opinion of course,because they dont have staggered fins...
internally,but because the fins are straight they have less pressure drop
