Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler Core (535mm X 392mm X 95mm)

This Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler Core measures 535mm wide, 392mm tall, and 95mm thick, featuring a high-performance bar-and-plate design. This substantial size and construction are key to its ability to significantly improve charge air cooling in turbocharged vehicles. By more effectively lowering the temperature of the air entering your engine after it leaves the turbocharger, this intercooler helps increase air density. Denser air contains more oxygen, which allows for more efficient combustion and can lead to improved engine performance and responsiveness, especially under demanding conditions.

The core itself is built with a focus on efficient heat dissipation. The bar-and-plate construction offers a large surface area for air to flow over, allowing heat to transfer away from the compressed intake charge. This type of intercooler is a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to get the most out of their turbocharged setups, whether for street use or track applications. Its robust construction is intended to handle the increased thermal loads associated with higher boost pressures and more aggressive tuning. Proper installation is crucial to ensure optimal airflow and performance, and it's important to note that this intercooler is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.

When upgrading your intercooler, consider the overall system. While this core is a significant component, ensuring your turbocharger and piping are also capable of supporting the improved airflow and cooling can help you achieve the best results. This intercooler is designed to be a direct replacement for many factory intercooler locations, but modifications may be necessary depending on your specific vehicle and turbo setup. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for detailed instructions and recommendations.
