Out of stock notices on products and options are manually added and removed. These will not be updated while we are away, so may not be correct. Stock will still be allocated to your order if available, but we will notify you of any backorders upon our return.

We highly recommend ordering on our eBay Shop if you want to make sure you are ordering a stocked item. We update eBay stock automatically behind the scenes, so the stock shown is what we have available.

The Pro Alloy Motorsport Intercooler is unlike any other on the market at the moment. With careful thought we’ve decided to replace the near side cast horn of the OEM cooler with our own elbow and machined flanges. This now allows us to squeeze in a much larger intercooler core. The difference from standard this has given is clear to see in the stats below.

STANDARD INTERCOOLER CORE SPEC – 275mm x 160mm x 50mm

  • Core Surface area = 275mm x 160mm = 440 Sq/cm
  • Core Tube Size = 8mm x 50mm
  • Core Tube Count = 11 of Live Tubes

PRO ALLOY INTERCOOLER CORE SPEC – 390mm x 275mm x 50mm

  • Core Surface area =390mm x 245mm = 955.5 Sq/cm
  • Core Tube Size = 8mm x 50mm
  • Core Tube Count = 13 of Live Tubes

SUMMARY OF STANDARD VS PRO ALLOY INTERCOOLER

  • 126.3% Increase in core surface area
  • 18.2% Increase in core flow area

These stats give you a good indication of how much of an increase in cooling, flow and performance this new kit will provide.

Next was to make better use of the air entering the bay via the Cooper S’s well-recognised bonnet scoop. When you shut the bonnet the foam on the underside of the bonnet will form a tight seal with the intercooler’s scoop making sure all the fresh air is forced straight through the intercooler. These trick features come with no big adjustments to the car, there’s no cutting or drilling to be done, just simply unbolting OEM parts and bolt the new unit in.

As with all of our products we build to the highest quality, all of our intercoolers are pressure tested to ensure they’re ready to handle the boost pressures expected.

The kit comes with all necessary parts to fit the unit and is available in either Satin Black or Satin Silver - With or without PRO logo on core face.

To avoid the possibility of a boost leaks in high boost applications we recommend a new gasket be fitted at the same time. The gasket used at this joint is only suitable for use once and must be replaced every time this joint is disturbed - unless you opt for Orranje's re-useable PTFE gasket!
