Wagner Competition intercoolers (#200001046) are engineered in Germany to be a superior N20/N55 intercooler than the factory part. With 85% more surface area than the factory IC the Wagner-designed kit is much more efficient. And that helps maintain your boost levels and performance! The factory intercooler is quickly overcome with heat and that leads to a loss of boost and performance. Factor in greater boost levels and other modifications and the more heat soak will put you out of the running. The solution is an intercooler with more capacity for cooling and the best intercooler upgrade is one that not only works but also installs with a minimum amount of fuss.
This competition intercooler kit utilizes a tube fin center core unit, for cooler temperatures and less pressure drop. This is for ideal for owners who are going to install a tuner, build a competition car or operate in hot climates. This can be used on the street, track, and for an everyday driving and will allow cooler temps and more air flow through the core!
Compared to the stock OEM intercooler:
One of the best features of this kit is that it's a direct bolt-on replacement for your stock intercooler - no removing the bumper or modifying brackets or wrestling with plumbing. Wagner has also engineered their end-tanks in aluminum instead of the factory plastic, which is much more durable over the long term. The CAD and FEM process also allows them to design their cooler internals without any bottlenecks or restrictions. This is just the best all-around intercooler upgrade we have seen for the F30 335! Fits both N20 and N55 cars.
