Front mounted intercooler kit for the Mazdaspeed 3 featuring mandrel bent high polished aluminum pipingwork, Garrett GT high density bar and plate intercooler core capable of supporting over 400HP, multi-layer silicone turbo connectors (color of choice), and stainless T-bolt clamps. Stainless mounting brackets and hardware included. Flanged for HKS BOV (can can be changed to another upon request). No cutting is required for installation. Power gains are huge on both stock turbo and upgraded turbo setups. Drastic drop in intake temperature relieves the engine of constant heatsoaking condition that robs the Speed of its power. By lowering the peak operating charge temp by over 30 degrees, this intercooler upgrade kit allows the Speed engine to operate at full power freely and consistently without holding back when the engine gets warm. The reduction in charge temp also reduces the changes of engine knock. The Garrett GT core also removes a flow-through bottleneck that is inherent in the factory top-mounted intercooler which hinders peak HP. This FMIC upgrade is one of the simplest ways to increase both HP and reliability on the Speed3 engine.
