Why do we offer a Side Mount Intercooler design instead of a Front Mount Intercooler?
Safety and Ease of Installation.
On an S4, to fit an intercooler core that was larger than just the cumulative volume of both side mounted intercoolers, an RS4 bumper had to be fitted, along with significant modification to the radiator support. The amount of alterations required to fit a front mounted intercooler that had superior performance over dual side intercoolers practically made it a custom one-off installation.
In order to make a front mount intercooler a simple bolt-in design meant seriously compromising its performance characteristics, which we were unwilling to do. To fit behind an unmodified stock S4 front bumper, the intercooler core dimensions had to be reduced significantly. Extensive cutting of the front bumper was not worth the safety compromise in our analysis, given that the vast majority of our clients drive their S4s on public roads.

Intercooler Dyno Test Results
Below are comparision dyno tests as performed on our Mustang MD-500-SE AWD dyno.
AWE Tuning 2.7T intercoolers vs stock intercoolers
(Above) Dyno comparison of stock vs AWE Tuning Intercoolers. Power is to the wheels (multiply by 1.28 for crank power). AWE Tuning Intercoolers horsepower is green line, AWE Tuning Intercoolers torque is blue line.
(Above)Graph of measured differences between baseline and test in dyno sheet of AWE Tuning S4 Intercoolers vs. Stock. AWE Tuning 2.7T Intercoolers produced a peak increase of 18.5 ftlbs and an increase of 19.5 hp to the wheels vs. the stock intercoolers. Notice, however, that at ~3500 rpms, AWE Tuning Intercoolers produced a 24 ftlbs increase, and at 6500 rpms a 22 hp increase. That's ~31 ftlbs and 28hp gains at the crank!
