Stock intercooler replacement S6 2.2t

Pop: Agree that the 2.7tt has two SMIC but each effectively one serves one 3 three cylinder engine, they aren't in series the way you are proposing.

Incorrect, each serves one turbocharger. They are in parallel because the car only has one throttle body.

Incorrect? Each turbo and intercooler pair serves one 3 cylinder bank and they aren't in series.

The SMIC does not flow enough even for a mild upgrade beyond stock turbo.
It also does not cool properly. Fitting two of those is just retarded.

It is possible to fit a custom FMIC behind the front bumper and retain the stock look. Yes, the front bumper will need to be "modified" in some places.

Of course comparing this to the 2.7TT is silly in the first place. If you want to compare it to anything it would be the 3.0 TDI which has a dual SMIC setup on the C6/4F chassis.

Regardless, there is a proven and working solution. These threads will keep popping up every now and then though - same as threads about water to air coolers (utterly pointless on a street driven car with the engine in the front) and so on.

would you explain this:
"...water to air coolers (utterly pointless on a street driven car with the engine in the front) and so on."

thank you
