Presenting the AWE Tuning Audi 3.0T ColdFrontSystem. Designed in house at AWE Tuning, the ColdFrontSystem is the solution for consistent and reliable performance for modified vehicles looking for maximum power and reliability. The AWE Tuning ColdFrontSystem is available in the following configurations:
- The full ColdFrontSystem, featuring the AWE Tuning ColdFrontHeat Exchanger and ColdFrontReservoir
- The ColdFrontHeat Exchanger alone
- The ColdFrontReservoir alone
- The add-on ColdFrontProtection Screen
Why a heat exchanger?
Insufficiently cooled air entering your vehicle's engine will rob power and performance. Modified vehicles, notably those flashed and/or equipped with a modified supercharger pulley like the AWE Tuning Stage 2 Performance Pulley, are particularly susceptible to higher intake air temperatures. Enter the AWE Tuning ColdFrontHeat Exchanger: Proven to maintain consistent intake air temperatures and power, even under the most demanding of conditions.
How it works
The AWE Tuning ColdFrontHeat Exchanger utilizes a larger frontal area, resulting in in cooler supercharger coolant temperatures, leading to better air intake temperatures and consistent, reliable power.
Detail follows:
ColdFrontHeat Exchanger
The AWE Tuning ColdFrontHeat Exchanger was developed to reduce high air intake temperatures found in supercharged engines. Designed and conceptualized in house at AWE Tuning, this should be a mandate for supercharged 3.0T engines looking to keep things consistent and reliable.
The AWE Tuning ColdFrontHeat Exchanger is a direct replacement for the factory heat exchanger, fitting neatly behind the front bumper and grill assemblies. This system was specifically designed by the Engineers at AWE Tuning to include a drain plug and bleed screw, allowing the system to be bled without the need for external tools. In other words, all the benefits of a cooling upgrade with none of the fitment downsides.
ColdFrontReservoir
The AWE Tuning ColdFrontReservoir is CNC Machined from 6061 Billet Aluminum and plumbed directly into the heat exchanger coolant system to increase supercharger coolant capacity. The increase in coolant capacity leads to lower coolant temperatures, in turn supporting lower air intake temperatures. To further reduce coolant temperatures, the AWE Tuning ColdFrontReservoir incorporates a true flow through design which acts to reduce coolant temperature as it flows through the unit. The AWE Tuning ColdFrontReservoir features an anodized aluminum cap laser etched with the AWE Tuning logo, ensuring that checking the coolant level is a breeze.
The AWE Tuning ColdFrontReservoir can be used either in combination with the AWE Tuning ColdFrontHeat Exchanger to complete the ColdFrontSystem, or can be used with the factory heat exchanger.
ColdFrontProtection Screen
The AWE Tuning ColdFrontProtection Screen is the solution for guarding the ColdFrontHeat Exchanger from road debris. The Protection Screen guards the full face of the heat exchanger with durable stainless wire mesh and is surrounded by a stainless steel frame, protecting it against any small objects that may find their way past the vehicle's grill. This keeps the heat exchanger fins free of damage, allowing them to perform with maximum efficiency.
Please note, AWE Tuning ColdFrontSystems are for racing use only.

Below are graphs of the performance testing done on the ColdFront System. All tests were performed on the AWE Tuning Mustang MD-500-SE AWD dyno using a 6-speed B8 Audi S4 equipped with G.I.A.C. Stage 2 Performance Pulley Software on 93 octane pump gas in a controlled ambient temperature of 90F.
Above is a graph showing the supercharger coolant temperature difference of the coolant before entering vs. after exiting the ColdFront Heat Exchanger. The
red line represents the pre heat exchanger coolant temperature. The
green line represents the post heat exchanger coolant temperature. The top graph shows the temperature difference the stock heat exchanger is capable of producing, the middle graph shows the temperature difference the ColdFront Heat Exchanger is capable of producing, and the third graphs show the temperature difference the full ColdFront System is capable of producing. It can be seen that the stock heat exchanger struggles to keep the supercharger coolant temperatures low, especially at high RPM, yielding a maximum temperature drop of 8.6F @ 4760 RPM. In contrast, the ColdFront Heat Exchanger produced a maximum temperature drop of 13.7F @ 6960 RPM, and 14.5F @ 7100 RPM when adding the ColdFront Reservoir to complete the ColdFront System. This results in a total maximum temperature drop of 24F when compared to the stock unit. Â
Above is a graph showing the intake air temperatures when performing back to back pulls on our dyno. (Eight in total using 30 sec. intervals). The
red line represents the stock heat exchanger, the
green line represents the ColdFront Heat Exchanger, and the
blue line represents the full ColdFront System with Reservoir. Â It can be seen that the stock unit suffers greatly from heat soak. During the eighth pull the intake air temperatures had climbed upward of 180F at redline. In contrast, the larger ColdFront Heat Exchanger produces a maximum air intake temperature of slightly over 165F after eight pulls. Adding the optional reservoir to complete the ColdFront System results in a maximum air intake temperature of just under 165F after the eighth pull, with lower temperatures throughout the first seven pulls as well. Â
Above is a graph representing the horsepower produced when performing back to back pulls on our Mustang dyno (Four runs in total). The
green line represents the wheel horsepower during the first dyno run. The
red line represents the wheel horsepower during the fourth dyno run. Â It can be seen that the stock heat exchanger suffered from heat soak, resulting in a power loss of 12 WHP @ 6900 RPM. In comparison, the ColdFront Heat Exchanger had a power loss of just 4 WHP @6900 RPM. When adding the optional AWE Tuning coolant reservoir to complete the ColdFront System, there was
no power loss at all even multiple back to back dyno pulls.

AWE Tuning Exhaust had its start in 1991 and has the facilities needed to do everything in house assuring you of a first rate product. Their unique products like the SWITCHPATH AWE Exhaust System for your Porsche is designed to direct exhaust gasses away from the side mufflers giving you that impressive AWE exhaust touring tone only slightly louder and then with the “SWITCHPATH” valve open your exhaust gasses are directed away from the side muffler and you get that more aggressive sound.
