Cobb 07-09 Mazdaspeed3 Front Mount Intercooler Kit

COBB is well-known for making parts that help you get more performance out of your turbocharged vehicle, and their Front Mount Intercooler Kit for the 2007-2009 Mazdaspeed3 is a prime example. If you're looking to keep your engine running cooler and making more power, especially after you've upgraded your turbo or other engine components, this intercooler is a solid choice. It replaces the factory top-mount intercooler with a much larger front-mount unit, which is key to managing the heat generated by forced induction.

This kit uses a large, bar-and-plate intercooler core. Bar-and-plate designs are popular because they offer a good balance of cooling efficiency and durability. The larger surface area and thicker core allow it to absorb and dissipate more heat from the compressed air coming out of your turbo before it enters the engine. Cooler intake air means denser air, and denser air allows your engine to make more power more reliably. The kit includes all the necessary piping, silicone couplers, and mounting hardware to get it installed. COBB designs their kits to fit well, making the installation process as straightforward as possible for a front-mount intercooler setup.

When installing a larger front-mount intercooler, you'll want to ensure all connections are secure to prevent boost leaks. This kit is designed to work with the factory turbocharger and intake plumbing, but it's also a great foundation if you plan on further modifications down the line. Keeping your intake air temperatures down is crucial for consistent performance, especially during spirited driving or track use.
