Forge Motorsport's Performance oversized Air-to-Air Intercoler Upgrade reduces inlet temperatures compared to the stock intercooler, reducing power lost to heat. As the inlet temperature is reduced, the air becomes 'more dense' packing a greater number of O2 molecules, which results in a more powerful combustion. This nets more horsepower to the wheels!
While the factory intercooler does an 'adequate' job with the stock supercharger, there is room for improvement. If you use our 15% reduction supercharger pulley upgrade (NME5041), this is the perfect complimentary product.
Fits 2002-2006 R53 MINI Cooper S hatchback and 2005-2008 R52 Cooper S Convertibles.
