Proven results on the road
We have tested this intercooler extensively on N54-powered cars and seen fantastic real-world gains. Through five consecutive pulls on the road, intercooler intake temperatures were between 135 to 140 degrees on both the standard cooler and this upgraded core. At the outlet into the engine, the standard intercooler produced 75 to 80 degrees, whereas this unit delivered outlet temps in the high 20s across all five runs. That huge drop in IAT means stronger, repeatable performance without heat soak.
What owners love
We run this intercooler ourselves and our customers love the results. Sharper throttle response, harder mid-range punch and back-to-back pulls that stay consistent as the laps and runs pile up. We would go as far as to say this is one of the best value intercoolers you can fit to an N54.
