Description Reviews The AIRTEC intercooler is bolt on HP by lowering the charge air temperatures. A remapped car has increased power by ECU changes that raise boost pressure and other parameters. This increase in boost pressure raise intake temps and power loss soon follows. By fitting a bigger intercooler, you lower these intake temps, in turn increasing hp and making your engine safer.
