An Airtec Intercooler is a high performance upgraded intercooler. Replacing your vehicles original intercooler ensures consistently lower intake temperatures allowing your engine to make more power.Carefully engineered with motorsport know-howHigh-quality construction stands up to increased boostCompressing air as with a turbo or supercharger raises it's temperature. To combat this, most vehicles come with an intercooler or chargecooler to cool it back down.As with many other things on a car, the factory part represents a compromise and has been designed with stock power levels in mind.Once you start tuning a car and increasing boost levels, or simply driving the car in a harder fashion than originally planned for, the cooling capacity of the original intercooler can start to reach its limits.This is bad because the engine will adjust the power level according to the temperature of the air reaching it. Hotter air reaching the engine will generally see the ECU backing off boost and fuel
