Real-world performance
We have installed and used these MTC intercoolers ourselves and customers have been genuinely impressed with the results. In back-to-back road testing over five pulls, both the standard intercooler and the MTC intercooler saw intercooler inlet temperatures of 90 degrees. On the outlet side into the engine, the stock intercooler reached around 60 degrees, whereas the MTC intercooler consistently delivered outlet temperatures in the high 20s over all five runs. Lower IAT means more consistent performance, stronger pulls and improved reliability.
