The CSF Charge-Air-Cooler Cores are ~100% larger in volume than the factory coolers. CFD analysis and testing was used to design the cores ensuring optimal performance as well as perfect fitment. Both coolers come with OEM-Style "Quick Connect" water connections as well as sensor ports for fast and easy installation. You can read the full press release of the full press release of the CSF #8178 Coolers for more details & performance data.
The weak OEM crimped-on plastic end tanks have been replaced with CSF's larger, CFD analyzed, 100% TIG-welded cast end tanks. CSF also integrated the charge pipe into the design of the top end tank eliminating the glued-on factory plastic charge pipes. This single piece cast design creates a much stronger system that can handle much higher boost pressures.
Integrated dual 1/8 NPT ports are located on both outlet side air tanks for quick and easy installation of aftermarket methanol/nitrous injection systems. The positioning of these ports have been carefully designed to place the injection system directly into the post-intercooled charge-air stream for maximum performance.
