Proven intake temperature drops for real performance
We have tested these intercoolers on multiple vehicles and the results are fantastic. Across five back-to-back road pulls, intercooler intake temperatures were 90 degrees on both the standard and this MTC intercooler. At the outlet to the engine, the standard intercooler measured around 60 degrees, whereas this MTC intercooler held temperatures in the high 20s over all five pulls. That means lower IAT, more consistent power and confidence on the road or track.
Direct fitment and installation
This is a direct replacement front mount intercooler that uses the OEM-style hose connections. Professional installation is recommended and typically takes 1 to 2 hours. Some models may require minor plastic trimming.
