The M7 Silicone Intercooler Boots are available for purchase separately from the DFIC2. The DFIC2 Intercooler Boots work great with most of the other aftermarket intercoolers on the market as well as older versions of the DFIC.Their intercooler boots are longer than other boots available to ensure a better seal between the intercooler core and the inlet/ outlet horns. This also means there is more surface area to tighten over with the clamps. The M7 Intercooler Boots feature a tighter fit around the intercooler as well as the OEM intercooler horns. This means your intercooler won"t be slipping and sliding while you"re driving your MINI.

Q: What are intercooler pipes? Why buy them? How do I know which intercooler pipes to buy?
A: Turbochargers put off a tremendous amount of heat, so in order to maximize power most turbocharged vehicles utilize intercoolers which are essentially radiators that cool off the intake charge. This cooler, denser air is capable of producing significantly more horsepower. In order to connect your intercooler to your engine a series of intercooler pipes are utilized. These pipes come in varying diameters and shapes to accommodate both factory and custom aftermarket intercooler setups. Intercooler pipes also come in both hard (aluminum) and soft (silicone) forms allowing for added strength or flexibility where needed.
Choosing the appropriate intercooler pipes for your setup can be a tricky proposition. The first thing you will want to find out is what diameter pipe you require. You will want to measure both your intercooler inlet/outlet diameter and turbo outlet diameter and get pipes that line up with these measurements. There are couplers that allow you to step up or step down in size if necessary. Once you have established the diameter of the piping you will want to figure out if you need a complete set or just one or two individual pipes. For a custom setup you may have to buy each pipe individually to make the setup work, but if you are replacing a stock intercooler setup a full intercooler piping kit may do the job. Lastly you will want to make sure you have all the necessary flexible couplers and hose clamps to attach the pipes firmly and prevent boost leaks. Never assume that a generic intercooler piping kit will work for your vehicle, do some research first and order as necessary.
