The APR Intercooler System is a OEM location upgrade that dramatically reduces intake air temperature (IAT), minimizes heat soak, and provides increased performance! The system is a direct bolt-on upgrade that requires no trimming and is recommended at every stage of performance. Also included are the APR Silicone Boost Hoses. A direct replacement upgrade, to the factory rubber hose found in the charge piping system. The system includes a multitude of enhancements designed for maximum performance, longevity and insurance against power robbing boost leaks.
