• Hand Made in the USA (San Diego, CA)
• ALL 6061 Aluminum Construction, including piping, for maximum heat dispersion
• Tig Welded, hand made (not cast) End Tanks
• Top Quality Bar & Plate US Made Intercooler core
• Perfect Fit, no cutting or trimming required
• Excellent solution for K03/04 and 28-series turbos

What sets the Exalt B6 A4 FMIC apart from the rest?

• The intercooler core is the heart of the system and anyone familiar with intercoolers knows there's a wide range of designs and varying quality on the market. Exalt has worked with all the top mfg's and is confident there is no better core for this application than the one used in this kit.
• Many of the other mfg's will use Stainless Steel or Silicone hose for the tubing because both materials require less skill to fabricate and are less expensive material than the 6061 Aluminum used in the Exalt kit but neither provide the heat dispersion (the main goal of an I/C) as Aluminum.
• The end-tanks on the Exalt FMIC are all hand fabricated Aluminum as opposed to the cast tanks found on the competitors' offerings. Cast tanks are prone to a porous finish, which will disrupt the flow of air through the I/C, sacrificing boost pressure.
• The fit & finish of the Exalt B6 A4 FMIC is second to none and requires zero trimming or cutting to fit.
• 100% hand-made in San Diego, CA USA

Are you a Smart Car owner that wishes you had more power to get up and go? Or maybe you’re interested in buying the environmentally friendly and convenient Smart Car but are deterred by the lackluster stock performance. Well, Exalt has just the solution for you in the SFR Smart Car Turbo System! This turbo upgrade developed by the brilliant minds at SFR will breathe new life into your Smart Car, that even we were blown away by after our first test drive. This Smart Car Turbo System will turn your anemic performer into a zippy, fun to drive, dare I say... sports-car.

The dyno doesn’t lie. After installing the SFR Stage 2 Turbo System on the Smart Car 451, she put down a very respectable 115 Rear Wheel Horsepower or a whopping 90% increase over stock, while the Stage 1 setup put down 85 RWHP. 115 & 85 RWHP may not sound like a lot but given the car’s svelte 1800lb curb weight, this is very respectable and literally turns this car from the slowest thing on the road to a car that will shove you into your seat when the pedal hits the metal.

SFR is known worldwide for their expertise in forced induction and top-quality fabrication work. This turbo system for the Smart Car is no exception as every part is Tig welded on special fixtures to ensure a perfect fit and finish. All of the cold side components are made out of 6061 aluminum and hot side parts are made from 304 Stainless Steel. The intercooler is a top-quality, American made, bar and plate style for superior cooling and the new found aggressive growl is the result of the quality muffler included in the kit.

The SFR Turbo Kit for the Smart Car 451 is designed to be mounted at the top of the engine bay, placing the turbo in its optimum position, well insulated from heat and as far away from the elements as possible. This also allows for the use of a conventional gravity oil drain, eliminating the oil drain back problems some of the other kits suffer from. With a low mounted turbo / intake, like found in other kits, a large puddle could prove disastrous if it splashed on a hot (potentially glowing red) turbo or was sucked into the intake.  

The tuning for the SFR Smart Turbo System is accomplished by using a piggy back computer that controls fuel and ignition timing. The Smart Cars ECU which is made by Bosch is extremely sophisticated. This ECU's O2 sensor is constantly making adjustments to the air/fuel mixture to keep it as close to Stoichiometric (14.7 to 1) as possible. This is great for gas mileage but this is dangerous for boosted applications. Thanks to the proprietary engine management system, we found a safe and reliable way to tune the car while still retaining all functionality of the stock ecu. The nicest part of this turbo system is you can go back to stock very easily if you ever had to. Just remove everything and that's it, bone stock again....but what fun is that?

The Audi 2.0 l TFSI wins the “International Engine of the Year Award 2009”

• Fifth win in a row for the Audi 2.0 TFSI four-cylinder engine
• Already over 1.3 million sold worldwide
• Even greater torque and efficiency thanks to Audi valvelift system

For the fifth time in a row, a jury of 64 leading motoring journalists from over 30 countries has voted the 2.0-liter FSI the “International Engine of the Year” in the 1.8 to 2.0-liter category.
“A blend of performance and efficiency. An example to all engine manufacturers”, concluded the jury. It was particularly impressed by the way the Audi-developed engine combines pulling power, economy and excellent handling.

The latest version of the two-liter TFSI engine in the Audi A4, A5 and Q5 is equipped with the Audi valvelift system that regulates the valve lift in two stages. It acts on the turbo engine’s exhaust valves. Together with the intake camshaft that can be adjusted through 60 degrees, it improves the charge cycle and boosts pulling power. The driver experiences the Audi valvelift system as a technology designed to enhance driving fun – it guarantees a spontaneous, dynamic torque buildup all the way up from rock-bottom revs. This characteristic means the engine encourages the driver to shift up sooner, promoting lower revving and therefore a more economical driving style.

The 2.0 TFSI is available in performance categories ranging from 125 kW (170 hp) to 195 kW (265 hp) for the A3, S3, A4, A5 and A6 car lines, as well as for the Audi Q5 and TT. In its most powerful manifestation with an output of 200 kW (272 hp), the engine propels an Audi TTS Coupé, equipped with the optional S tronic dual-clutch transmission, from 0 to 100 kilometers (0-62.14 mph) per hour in just 5.2 seconds.

Audi was the first manufacturer in the world to combine gasoline direct injection with turbocharging in volume production. The success story of the 2.0 TFSI started in summer 2004, when it made its debut in the Audi A3 Sportback. Over the subsequent five years it was not only crowned “International Engine of the Year” on five occasions, but also the engine of choice for over 1.3 million customers.
