The CTS Turbo direct-fit intercooler for the MINI Cooper S is suitable for standard and modified vehicles with an N16 or N18 engine, including JCW models.
The new black version with a finish for more efficient heat dissipation provides noticeably better cooling compared with the standard intercooler. The improvements are due to the high-density intercooler core and cast aluminium end tanks.
