Pro Tip

Because this core is significantly larger than the stock unit to provide maximum cooling, minor trimming/modification of the OE plastic brackets is required for a secure, flush fit. Small effort for a massive performance payoff.

Specs & Features

Product Description

The moment you start pushing the car on a hot day or stringing together a few spirited pulls, that tiny factory intercooler falls completely flat. That sluggish, unresponsive feeling is called heat soak, and it happens because the restrictive OE unit was designed strictly for gentle daily commuting, not for laying down serious horsepower. Rev9 completely cures this performance-killing bottleneck with the Race-Spec Front Mount Intercooler Kit. By ditching the inadequate factory plastics and upgrading to a massive aluminum bar-and-plate core, drivers instantly gain a staggering 88% more cooling volume. This drastic increase in surface area forces a massive gulp of cooler, denser air right into the engine, resulting in immediate, neck-snapping gains in horsepower, torque, and throttle response. Engineered to be the absolute last intercooler the build will ever need, this race-proven unit is rated to flawlessly handle up to 700HP, easily supporting both simple bolt-on setups and full-blown big-turbo track monsters.

Upgrading a vehicle's thermal management system shouldn't require a constant fear of blown couplers or leaky welds under heavy boost. Rev9 intentionally built this Race-Spec kit for bulletproof reliability, utilizing precision TIG welds, a tough anti-corrosion coating, and high-strength 4-ply silicone hoses secured by stainless steel worm gear clamps to guarantee a leak-free seal every single time. Leaving the factory intercooler installed is literally leaving free, reliable horsepower locked away, actively suffocating the engine the moment the turbo starts working hard. For years, the aftermarket community has trusted Rev9 to deliver exceptional, track-tested performance components that completely dominate the competition without destroying the build budget. Stop losing hard-earned power to crippling heat soak; bolt on this legendary Rev9 Race-Spec intercooler and give the engine the icy, oxygen-rich airflow it needs to completely dominate the streets.
