Real world cooling results
Engineered for lower IAT and stronger, more consistent performance. Compared to our Gen 1 intercooler, this Gen 2 runs approximately 7 °C cooler after repeated pulls. In back to back road testing over 10 runs, both the standard intercooler and the MTC intercooler saw intercooler inlet temps of 135 to 140 °C. At the outlet into the engine, the standard intercooler recorded 75 to 80 °C, while this Gen 2 MTC intercooler held around 25 °C across all 10 runs. Track use has proven the same excellent consistency.
We have used and fitted this intercooler on customer cars and our own builds, and feedback has been consistently positive for both daily driving and hard use.
