For the 2007+ models* (R56/R57) BMW Mini Cooper S Turbo. Forge has developed a more efficient intercooler. As a reduction in intake air temperature increases the density of the charge mixture within the combustion cylinder any temperature reductions will equate to more power. This intercooler is constructed using a combined 80/40mm high thermal efficiency core, with a 250% larger surface area and a 125% thicker base core, to achieve the best possible results.
In fact even in relatively low road speeds/air velocities the Forge intercooler was able to better the OEM unit by 9°C, with greater improvements being achievable during greater speeds during track testing. The replacement intercooler is supplied with all the mountings and a replacement lower grill to allow ease of installation. Please note that this kit has been designed to fit behind the original Cooper S front panel. If an alternative aftermarket front panel has been installed, where clearances are reduced, additional trimming may be required.
