Proven cooling and real on-road results
Engineered around a 5 inch competition bar and plate core with flowed cast end tanks, plus four additional rows at the front to maximise surface area. We have tested this intercooler back to back on multiple vehicles and the results are fantastic. During five consecutive runs on the road the intercooler inlet temperatures were 135 to 140 degrees for both the OEM and this unit. Post intercooler into the engine, the OEM outlet sat between 75 and 80 degrees, while this intercooler delivered outlet temps in the high 20s across all five runs. Lower IAT means stronger, more consistent performance and better protection against heat soak.
