Wagner Tuning 2012+ Mercedes (CL) A250 EVO1 Competition Intercooler

If you're looking to get more out of your Mercedes A250's turbocharged engine, especially if you've already upgraded other components or plan to, a high-performance intercooler is a critical piece of the puzzle. This EVO1 Competition Intercooler from Wagner Tuning is designed specifically for the 2012 and later Mercedes A250 (CL chassis) to help manage the heat generated by increased boost pressure.

The stock intercooler can become a bottleneck when you start pushing more air through the engine. It struggles to cool the compressed air effectively, leading to higher intake temperatures. Higher intake temperatures mean less dense air, which forces the engine's computer to pull timing, reducing power. This Wagner Tuning intercooler features a much larger core with a high-density fin structure. This advanced design significantly increases the surface area for heat dissipation, allowing it to cool the intake charge much more efficiently than the factory unit. The end tanks are cast aluminum, designed for optimal airflow into and out of the core, ensuring that every bit of that cooler, denser air makes its way to your engine. This improved cooling capacity means your engine can maintain optimal timing and produce more consistent power, especially during prolonged periods of high load or in warmer climates.

Installation involves replacing the factory intercooler and associated plumbing. While it's a direct fit for the specified Mercedes A250 models, it's important to note that this intercooler is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For optimal performance and to ensure everything is working together correctly, consider consulting the manufacturer's installation guide or a professional mechanic.
