As the title states, I'm in the DC area and looking for an APR or IE Intercooler, Charge Pipe Kit and Turbo Inlet.

Not intake related but also looking for track brake pads and competition tires (NT01/A052, etc) in either 245-40-17 or 255-40-17.

Prefer local buy but willing to pay reasonable shipping charges if I need to.

Thanks!

Sending you a PM.
Thanks spankye. I don't know much about the Neuspeed but I have talked with VW/Audi race teams that suggested APR or IE for forced induction upgrades. The manufacturer mentioned Neuspeed's doesn't fit vehicles with forward vehicle collision sensors, which I have.

if you have a 7.5 the sensor is behind the emblem. Any FMIC will fit.

Proceed with caution, do your homework, and you will be rewarded. Neuspeed is among the worst performing intercoolers currently sold for our cars.

Flows considerably less than stock, which means the turbo has to work even harder to overcome the pressure drop and restriction. 👎

Your top performers are going to be APR, I/E, DO88, Mishimoto and Unitronic.

This is verifiable using the quantitative data from the website above, and by some of the higher powered builds that consistently, intentionally use them.

Hope this message caught you in time. 🍺🔧💪

Thanks for the link and details! I've heard good things about APR and IE from my local euro shop chain, which also has an extensive race team. They only sell what they install on their cars so I ran with the advice they gave me. Good to see the test in your link backs their advice! Thanks for taking the time to reply.
