Looks promising, bar and plate and not need to modify the crash bar 
But is it any good? Most worried about added lag.....

Anybody tried the REVO intercooler?

send me a pm mate
I’ve bought this part. I purchased the forge but returned it due to not being happy cutting into my rad support bars. Same with the Wagner.
Other options were APR, I think Unitronic has just released there’s and the rest are the smaller stage 1 style coolers.
I took the plunge on the Revo as it offer plug and play fitment and is larger than the others mentioned.
It will be fitted on Thursday next week. The following day il be having
Powervalve decat gpf delete,
APR intake,
Forge elbow,
Bilstein coilovers fitted.
Then is off for a stage 2 engine and gearbox tune at Unicorn Develoments.
Excited

I am also looking to purchase this intercooler due to a direct fit with existing crash bar. It also includes a charge pipe and 3 silicone hoses
How did the install and performance go for you jonnyfeng?
Yes you can comment DanSadly I am not allowed to comment on any product from the company I work for
In the past youve asked me not to promote any products from the company I work for
Don’t sell products on the forum. Your free to discuss Dan.In the past youve asked me not to promote any products from the company I work for
The Revo intercooler fits behind the OE crashbar so doesn't require the crashbar to be modified, an aftermarket intercooler is a modification so you should tell your insurance company.

isn’t that the link for the RS3? Sorry I was referring to the TTRS specific one? By the looks of it, it does require the OEM crash to be removed? Thanks
Ah OK, this is the RS3 forum though. Revo TTRS intercooler does have integrated crashbar.
I like all the technical blurb when they display graphs and tell you how good something is.
On the Revo intercooler there are various graphs showing intake and outlet temps and pressure drop across the intercooler. This is the one that caught my eye as the pressure drop across the Revo looks to be worse than the OE one by a fair margin.
https://www.onlyrevo.com/product-details/cooling/audi-rs3-8v2-intercooler&engineid=353
The blurb says "Pressure drop is an important factor when it comes to choosing an Intercooler. The Revo solution features custom cast end tanks to evenly distribute air over the core. This graph highlights that even with massive core size difference there is only a 0.34psi pressure drop in comparison to the stock intercooler, ensuring engine response and minimised turbo lag"
The negative pressure drop is at the point when the throttle is closed and there is little flow.When the engine is being run to perform the power run there is almost twice as much pressure drop across the Revo intercooler ???

Apologies @Dan_DJT lol I was just following the initial thread answer from @jonnyfeng who I believe has the TTRS. Be great to get some feedback from @jonnyfeng as to how it's holding up? Many guys here in Oz run the Wagner but I'm always down to try something else. Revo always make a good kit but seem to lack popularity here in oz.
Hi.
If you have any issues with insurance at all then please feel free to drop me a line.
Regards,
Dan.
not sure what you mean, in any case in the power graph it seems that there is no additional lag due to the intercooler.
and I think pressure drop is important not only for the initial spoolup phase, but mostly afterwards, as it is a measure of the resistance to the air flow caused by the intercooler.
But anyhow, is there anyone on this forum who actually tried it? And can give some results?

Revo Stage1 - no specific map change. I did it for the health benefits if that makes sense, looking after it - keeping things cooler, more so for the summer when it’s hotter and helps with heatsoak.
