Real world intake temperature results
We have installed and tested these intercoolers on multiple vehicles and the results are fantastic. In back to back road pulls, both the stock intercooler and the MTC intercooler saw around 90 degrees at the intercooler inlet. At the outlet into the engine, the stock intercooler registered around 60 degrees, while the MTC intercooler consistently delivered temperatures in the high 20s across five consecutive pulls. That reduction in IAT translates to stronger, more repeatable performance and less heat soak run after run.
Perfect for tuned BMW X5 and X6
Whether your BMW is stock, Stage 1 or Stage 2, diesel 30d 35d 40d or petrol 28i 35i 40i, this front mount intercooler upgrade keeps charge temps under control, supports higher boost and helps your engine make reliable power. Expect sharper throttle response, improved mid range punch and greater consistency during hard use.
