Overview
The factory intercooler is made from plastic and is prone to cracking, and has an inefficient tube-and-fin core. Thus, it is not designed for boost levels higher than stock. This is a weakness we have experienced and decided to make our own.
This is a direct replacement upgrade for the plastic factory intercooler. Our engineers started with the factory part that was measured on our in-house CMM and scanned using our 3D scanner. After that, a working model was created and optimized using CAD software.
Our proprietary cast intercooler end tanks have flow-directing fins on the inlet and outlet to make sure the airflow stays streamlined for maximum efficiency. High-density bar-and-plate core is at the center of it all; covered with CTS logo top plate. CNC machined fittings, stainless steel helicoils in the mounting location, high-quality hardware and silicon couplers come standard. The assembly is hand-welded in house and pressure tested before we finish it in a semi-gloss black powder coat.
This high-quality intercooler is available from CTS and our authorized distributors only! Beware of imitations that are purchased from overseas catalogues, they do not carry the manufacturer’s logos cast into the core.
Benefits to upgrading the intercooler are lower AITs, decreasing the chance of detonation and timing pull.

About Brand
What is CTS Turbo?
CTS Turbo is a manufacturer and wholesaler of performance automotive parts, specializing in late-model Audi, BMW, and Volkswagen vehicles. The company also offers products for Toyota and MINI Cooper models. All CTS Turbo products are TIG welded and constructed using T304 stainless steel.
CTS Turbo prides itself on being a leader in the industry, offering an unparalleled level of high-end products, technical know-how, and customer service. The brand has everything you need to enhance the performance of your car; that includes cold air intakes, catch can kits, turbo kits, and performance exhaust systems. CTS Turbo’s team of skilled engineers and fabricators are dedicated to constantly developing new performance parts for your car to take it to the next level.
CTS Turbo Catch Cans
Oil catch cans are simple devices that can greatly benefit direct-injection motors. They are used to prevent oil and other contaminants from entering the intake manifold and clogging up the intake valves with buildup. Oil deposits on the intake manifold and valves can reduce performance and cause poor fuel mileage.
CTS Turbo Intakes
Cold air intakes help deliver a smooth entry of cold air directly into the engine to improve performance and acceleration. Using mandrel-bent aluminum intake piping, CTS Turbo reduces unwanted turbulence within the pipes, which would otherwise reduce airflow into the engine. High-flow air filters utilize a cone design for better engine breathing and a great sound too.
CTS Turbo Exhausts
All CTS exhausts are hand TIG-welded using the finest T304 seamless stainless steel designed for both street use and track applications. Other systems use lower-quality materials causing them to crack and decay over time. CTS’ exhaust systems also deliver a tantalizing aggressive sound that produces several smiles per mile.
CTS Turbo Downpipes
Downpipes are the perfect high-performance replacement for the factory downpipe, which rob your vehicle of its potential power. CTS Turbo’s downpipes feature a stainless-steel construction and built with maximum performance in mind. They are available in race-spec and street-spec varieties featuring Magnaflow catalytic converters.
