BEAST MODE
MARKET-LEADING SIZE
The IE Race Series Intercooler sets the standard as the largest in its class. Unlike existing options designed to fit B9 2.0T and 3.0T engines, our intercooler is exclusively tailored for the high-powered 3.0T S4 & S5 platform. Utilizing every millimeter of available space, our engineers have optimized the cooling capabilities for any power goal. The result is a massive size measuring 19.4x16.3x4.5", establishing a new benchmark in cooling power for the 3.0L turbocharged engine.

IE FLOW DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY
What is the point of a large intercooler core that can not effectively take advantage of the increased volume and surface area? IE's Flow Distribution System (FDS) places precisely shaped fins inside the end tank to force airflow evenly across the entire core to distribute the heat more effectively and recover faster. When drastically reducing intake air temperatures (IAT) for the most significant power gains possible, IE's FDS technology is the proven cheat code.
REQUIRES IE CHARGE PIPES
DEFEAT HEAT SOAK AND INCREASE AIRFLOW
To seamlessly connect to the intercooler's larger 70mm sized inlet and outlet, our IE Aluminum Charge Pipe Kit (IETPCK6) is required. This combination increases flow and provides an enhances the entire charge air system, delivering high-velocity airflow for unparalleled performance.
IE Charge Pipe Kit is sold separately. If you do not already have this kit installed, add it to your intercooler order using the drop-down menu above.
NO BOOST LEAKS
FULL THROTTLE WITHOUT WORRY
This intercooler is designed for big boost. The end tank inlets/outlets and aluminum charge pipes are CNC machined with flat-stop edge and beveled grooves for a high-friction surface that grips your hoses and locks them in place for good.
STRENGTH
SECURE AND RELIABLE MOUNTING
IE's Race Intercooler features thick-gauge stainless steel mount brackets and reinforced casting mounts for a long life and worry-free operation. All mounting bosses and surfaces have been precision CNC machined and hand-verified for an exact fit.
QUALITY MANUFACTURING
HAND TIG WELDED & PRESSURE TESTED
For maximum quality, finish detail, and outstanding quality, every intercooler is meticulously hand TIG welded by intercooler specialists. Every unit undergoes a strict post-welding multi-point critical inspection and is tested in a leak-down station. This manufacturing level ensures a reliable product ready to install and perform out of the box.
PERFECT FIT
QUALITY IS IN THE DETAILS
Despite its impressive size, our race series intercooler has been designed for a hassle-free installation without any permanent modifications. To ensure a precise fit, IE engineers have employed advanced 3D scanning equipment and rapid prototyping techniques to ensure a tight, yet perfect bolt-in replacement.
DEFEAT HEAT SOAK
Heat soak occurs when the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) generated by the turbo exceed the cooling capacity of the intercooler and passes hot air to the engine. The result is a noticeable loss of power during acceleration and long pulls. Our IE Race Intercooler dramatically increases the core size and useable area of the core with FDS technology to significantly reduced intake air temperatures consistently lower than OEM and competitor intercoolers while increasing flow.
FDS DYNAMICS
FLIR Thermal Equipment and advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software were used to engineer the application-specific FDS fin design. The thermal imagery details air distribution evenly through the core in real time; notice the hot inlet air flowing evenly to the top and across the intercooler core. The better this flow is distributed, the more efficiently the intercooler operates and the speed at which heat is expelled.
FLOW GAIN
To prove the positive effects the intercooler design and FDS system have on airflow and pressure drop, flow testing was performed on the IE Race Intercooler VS. our standard IE FDS Intercooler option. Test results show consistent gains of up to 81.6% more flow over our alternate intercooler offering. This increase details the Race Intercooler's efficiency and capability to provide optimal cooling without negatively impacting airflow demands on any build level.
INTAKE AIR TEMP (IAT)
This graph details the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) over consecutive runs on a Stage 3 Hybrid Turbo S4 at over 650WHP. Three wide-open throttle pulls were made back-to-back on an IE Race FDS Intercooler VS. our standard IE FDS Intercooler (IETPCK1). The result was up to 11.4% lower IAT over our alternate performance intercooler design.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot.
Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable.
The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold.
The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic.
I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop.
One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me.
I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol
