What this part changes
The turbo compresses air, and compression heats it up: at the compressor outlet, the air can exceed 150 °C. It is then less dense, meaning less rich in oxygen, and it causes knocking - which the ECU corrects by retarding the ignition, reducing power. The intercooler cools it before it enters the engine.
The benefit is therefore not so much at the top end as in consistency: a saturated stock intercooler lets power fall away on the second lap of a circuit or during the third acceleration run. Beware of the instinct to go bigger: excessive volume takes longer to fill and blunts response. The right intercooler maintains temperature throughout actual use.
What to plan for
- Check the available clearance behind the bumper: some models require the reinforcement to be cut.
- The couplers and clamps must withstand the pressure: this is where things come apart.
- Do not sacrifice engine cooling: an intercooler mounted in front of the radiator reduces its airflow.
