MTC Motorsport Gen 2 Mini Cooper S R56 R57 1.6T Front Mount Intercooler with Bar and Plate Core 2007-2012.

- This intercooler will massively improve throttle response in comparison to the standard intercooler
- These cores are tested individually to 3 bar and are proven to flow 400bhp without any problems.
- Finished powder coated in black
Fitted to a pre-facelift (2008) R56 JCW.
Negative: Needs both the grille and the bumper chopped in places (not just the lugs on the bumper, but about 6-7 mm from the lower edge of the grille opening on the bumper at both sides of the intercooler), and the offside stud on the JCW badge needs to be cut off (I re-secured the badge with some Stixall). The grille, bumper and badge stud hit the intercooler and the bumper can't be fitted back on without the all the cutting as the bottom two screws and 3 plastic clips to secure the bumper won't line up with their mounting holes.
Positive: Technically awesome intercooler! Fantastic build quality! Noticeable difference in performance straight off, so expecting a lot more once it's been remapped!
👍👍👍
Fitted to R58 JCW. Needed to file down the grille in a couple of places where it rubbed the end tanks, but along with the two silicone pipes, my Scangauge is seemingly showing intake temps only a couple of degrees above ambient.
Very good quality, and fits well just needed to trim the grill as it says in the description
