Proven Results – Lower IATs for Consistent Performance
We have tested these intercoolers on multiple vehicles and the results are fantastic. Intake temperatures into the intercooler were around 90 degrees on both stock and this upgraded unit during five consecutive road pulls. Outlet temperatures into the engine with the standard intercooler were around 60 degrees. With this competition intercooler, outlet temperatures were in the high 20s across all five pulls. Lower IATs mean more consistent performance and reliability.
