This "Competition" Intercooler Kit from Wagner Tuning fits all Gen 3 2.0L JCW  model MINIs.

The intercooler is ideal for high horsepower and serious racetrack/motorsport applications. It features larger frontal area and greater volume than the factory OEM charge air intercooler. Weighing in at only 11 lbs (5 Kg) this is a must have for any serious track competitor or street hunter.

Intercoolers are used to reduce the heat from the compressed air as it transfers from the turbocharger into the engine's induction system. By passing the compressed and heated induction charge through an air-to-air heat exchanger (intercooler) reduces the charge temperature. Lower temperatures creates a higher density of air/fuel molecules, which allows more air/fuel mixture into the same amount of space. More air and more fuel means one thing....MORE HORSEPOWER and torque.

The Wagner-Tuning intercooler is highly regarded in the German performance car aftermarket for brands like Audi, BMW, Porsche and VW.  It features full German CAD based design, cast aluminum end tanks (not welded sheet metal) which gives the highest flow with the lowest pressure drop, furnace brazed bar and plate core design all skillfully welded together to create a fantastic product.  No wonder all the German performance car forums are abuzz about Wagner-Tuning intercoolers.

FEATURES:

• High-performance "Tube Fin" Intercooler core with turbulators in a stepped design
• Cast aluminum CAD / FEA optimized air tanks
• Intercooler uses the original mounting points
• Simple installation

The competition intercooler has the following core size (580mm x 231mm x 110mm [stepped] = 12.600cm³), providing a 53% larger frontal area and 52% more volume compared to the original intercooler. Our engineers have increased the intercooler core size and efficiency, as well as improved the end tank design to remove any OEM bottlenecks, resulting in increased flow rating and charge cooling properties. Competition Intercooler core with turbulators (weight: 9,2kg). Constructed of the highest quality Tube and Fin intercooler cores combined with cast aluminum optimized by CAD. Flow analyses and simulations were created to optimize the design for best possible Internal Airflow. This intercooler is the best choice when it comes to performance gains and low intake temperatures. A lot less pressure drop then OEM Intercooler. Anti-Corrosion protective Coating with perfect thermal heat dissipating character. Optimal cooling with clearly more power. Kit is ready for installation (plug & play), using the stock plumbing. Fitment is easy, replacing the OEM intercooler. All of our products undergo rigorous quality control.

Because of the large size of this performance intercooler some minor trimming & modifications behind the bumper cover may be required.
