Why Upgrade Your MINI's Intercooler?
The factory intercooler is often undersized and prone to heat soak under spirited or extended driving. This upgraded intercooler dramatically improves intake air temperatures, reduces power loss, and supports higher boost levels for modified or tuned MINIs. Whether you're chasing lap times or smoother street performance, this is a must-have upgrade.
