Why The Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler is the Best Choice for Your Type R

• Massive Power Increase with 140% More Volume: Wagner Tuning equips this intercooler with a large Competition core measuring 670mm x 183.4mm x 125mm and a total volume of 15.4 liters. Compared to the factory unit, this represents a 91% increase in frontal surface area and a 140% increase in core volume, allowing a substantially greater supply of cool, dense intake air and supporting noticeable performance gains.
• Optimized Airflow and Reduced Backpressure: The system is built around Wagner Tuning’s high-efficiency Competition tube-fin core, engineered to deliver excellent cooling performance with minimal pressure loss. CAD-designed and CFD-optimized cast aluminum end tanks maximize internal airflow, while an integrated air diverter at the inlet ensures even distribution across the core. This flow-focused design improves charge-air cooling and contributes to sharper throttle response.
• Direct Fit Installation and Premium Construction: Wagner Tuning designs the intercooler for direct installation using the factory mounting points, with clear instructions enabling a true plug-and-play upgrade without major modifications. Weighing approximately 9.6kg, the intercooler balances lightweight construction with high durability. A specialized anti-corrosion coating with strong thermal conductivity ensures consistent cooling performance and long-term reliability.
