Alta AMP-ENG-420 Front Mount Intercooler Mini Cooper R56

A key to making more power on any turbocharged engine is the addition of a high performance air-to-air intercooler. This part in the simplest of terms, cools the air going from the turbo into your engine, much the same as a radiator cools the water inside the engine, by transferring the excess heat way using multiple passages through a core. An ALTA intercooler fits easily to the front of your MINI to maximize cooling.

Precision Construction - The ALTA front mount intercooler features cast aluminum end tanks, with smooth and perfectly contoured internals to create unimpeded airflow and equal distribution of air throughout the intercooler. No sharp corners or multifaceted cores here.
