Direct-fit CTS Turbo intercooler for the MINI F-series platform, 3rd generation, with B46/B48 engines. Under higher loads, in hot climates or after engine modifications, the original intercooler does not provide sufficient cooling and can become heat-soaked. The upgraded intercooler helps maintain a lower intake-air temperature and more consistent performance.
The intercooler volume is 51.9% greater than the original, improving cooling efficiency and reducing pressure drop and resistance to airflow. The core and cast end tanks are made from aluminium. Installation is direct, with no cutting or other modifications required – the original intercooler is removed and replaced with the CTS Turbo FMIC unit.
