Cast aluminum end tanks with internal baffling and a robust bar/plate aluminum core for maximum heat transfer render a 130% increase in frontal surface area and a massive 83% increase in volume over the factory B9 SQ5 intercooler. Regardless if your vehicle is producing higher-than-stock boost levels, or you’re keeping it within factory spec, the ColdFront™ Intercooler solves any potential heat-related issues. By keeping intake air temperature low, and pressure drop at a minimum, engine output remains consistent even when outside temperatures rise. The ColdFront™ will provide the safety margin needed in order for you to push the limit with confidence. There is no cutting required when installing this intercooler. The ColdFront™ Intercooler reuses the factory intercooler hoses and clamps.
