Description:
Replace your overheated and unstylish OEM top mount intercooler with the high-efficiency ALTA Front Mount Intercooler. Cool more air between your turbo and engine.
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. 2 Times Bigger Than OEM! The ALTA FMIC features double the air volume of the OEM core and has 3 times the ambient cooling surface area! This all translates to cooler temps and more horsepower! And yes this is bigger than competitors' intercoolers!
Proven Horsepower
The ALTA FMIC produces an easy 10 to 15 horsepower right out of the box.
No Compromise
ALTA does not compromise performance by making their intercooler smaller just to save install time. Competitors like to scare you into thinking ALTA's intercooler is difficult to install. With only some minor trimming of some non-important plastic, you will gain more power and have a perfectly centered intercooler. You can see how the ALTA intercooler perfectly tucks behind the bumper beam and bumper.
Fills The Mouth of Bumper
ALTA's intercooler fills the entire mouth of the MINI bumper and is designed to utilize as much of the ambient air coming through the bumper as possible.
Finish
Every ALTA intercooler is powdercoated to further protect your intercooler from the elements making it look awesome for years to come. ALTA's intercoolers come in a bright silver.

Q: What is an intercooler? Why buy an intercooler?
A: Both superchargers and turbochargers heat air as they compress it. This heat can hurt the combustion process by changing the density of air entering the intake manifold from a cool charge to a hot one. An intercooler is used to lower the temperature of the air and in turn increase the density of that air, so more air can enter the cylinders and create more power.
Q: Do intercoolers work for any vehicle? Is there any pre-condition needed for me to buy an intercooler?
A: Intercoolers are sold either individually as universal cores or as kits with piping and couplers included. Turbocharged and supercharged engines can utilize intercoolers effectively while naturally aspirated vehicles do not have use for them.
Q: How do you install an intercooler?
A: Intercoolers are installed using piping kits. If there is a kit available for your car, intercoolers are placed in their desired location and piping routed to both the throttle body and the turbocharger side. Sometimes piping kits are not available and custom piping will need to be made.
