Description
AIRTEC 100mm Core Stage 2 Intercooler ATINTFO11 – MK1 Ford Focus RS
All intercooler kits come WITH the dump valve take off. If not required, please use a blanking plug.
Why do I need a front mount intercooler kit?
The original charge cooler kit works well enough on standard examples. On modified cars with increased boost pressure, the water temperatures in the charge cooler system cannot cope and start to climb to very high levels that it can’t recover from. As a result, ACTs (Air Charge Temperatures) can rise to over 55 degrees (as seen during testing), leading to power loss and possible engine damage.
By fitting a front mount intercooler, these ACTs are kept well below the safe 50 degree mark. This in turn helps your engine produce more power safely
DYNO TESTED

That’s 30bhp and 39lb/ft just by bolting on this kit!
Air Charge Temperatures

Outlet temp (coming out of intercooler): 25 degrees
Please remember the test car has standard turbo, so this kit will work even better fitted on cars with aftermarket manifolds and turbos.
The kit will take you approximately 4-6 hours to fit and can be carried out at home, there is no cutting and you don’t need to turn your turbo housing with this kit.
