Forge Alloy Intercooler for MINI Cooper S Turbo

Forge Front Mount Intercooler for 2007 and newer R55 R56 R57 R58 R59 MINI Cooper S Turbo.  Forge developed this more efficient stepped core intercooler. As a reduction in intake air temperature increases the density of the charge mixture within the combustion cylinder any temperature reductions will equate to more power. This Forge intercooler is constructed using a combined 80/40mm high thermal efficiency core, with a 250% larger surface area and a 125% thicker base core, to achieve the best possible results.

See Graph for details of temperature reduction.

In fact even in relatively low road speeds / air velocities our intercooler was able to better the OEM unit by nine degrees centigrade, with greater improvements being achievable during greater speeds during track testing. The replacement intercooler is supplied with all the mountings to allow ease of installation. Please note that this kit has been designed to fit behind the original Cooper S front panel. If an alternative aftermarket front panel has been installed, where clearances are reduced, additional trimming may be required.

Forge Intercooler weights 8lbs 7oz total.
Intercooler has 3 mounting tabs to install it.  2 of them mount to the stock MINI intercooler locations, the 3rd is an additional one to mount to the bumper support if you want additional support.  On 2009 and newer models this 3rd tab is not used.
