Cost-Effective Way of Increasing The Power of Your MINI!"


What exactly IS an Intercooler?
 The intercooler's job is to take the warm air produced by the engine and cool it down before reintroducing it into the engine as exhaust. Due to the fact that no energy is lost through heat, the horsepower is increased.


Why upgrade your MINI Cooper's Intercooler? The ability to perform well is a major consideration. Improvements in intercooler performance over the factory unit will drop intake air temperature more effectively while decreasing fuel economy. Your MINI Cooper's engine will also see less wear and tear as a result of these changes (A cooler-running engine lasts longer).
