Built for Performance and Strength
To accommodate the massive 19.4 x 16.3 x 4.5" Race Series intercooler core, this package includes a robust crash bar and precision brackets designed to secure the intercooler without compromising safety or chassis integrity. Each component is carefully engineered to exact OEM tolerances using advanced CAD modeling and manufacturing techniques.
Designed for Maximum Cooling and Reliability
IE’s Race Series Intercooler—paired with the included mounting solution—offers a 280% increase in core volume over the factory unit, drastically reducing intake air temperatures (IATs) and eliminating heat soak. When properly installed with Box 2 and the required charge pipes, your SQ5 will be ready for aggressive street driving, track sessions, and high-boost tuning setups without compromise.
Precision Manufacturing, Easy Fitment
All mounting surfaces, brackets, and the crash beam are CNC-machined and verified for exact fitment. Despite the upgraded size and performance of the intercooler system, installation remains straightforward thanks to this precision-engineered hardware set.
