Description
CTS Turbo is proud to announce our Direct fit FMIC for the B9/B9.5 platform.
The OEM B9 intercoolers deliver underwhelming performance, this platform benefits greatly from an intercooler upgrade. Vehicles at stock boost levels up through Stage 1-2 and Big Turbo applications will all see a large improvement over the factory equipped hardware.
This giant intercooler core is almost 2 times larger than stock and meets our extensive quality control and pressure testing (up to 50psi). Cast aluminum end tanks attach to factory hoses seamlessly to ensure a boost-leak free fit that results in increased horsepower and torque.
Features:
-
- Efficient bar and plate construction
- Internal air-directing fins provide smooth flow and minimize pressure drop
- Low pressure drop
- Maintains factory mounting points
- Designed using the latest 3D scanning technology
- No trimming required, complete replacement for factory part

The fit and finish of this intercooler is not very good. The mounting brackets for the B9 SQ5 aren’t cut out properly, so you have the choice of synching down on the bolts with enough force to bend the mounting brackets around part of the intercooler tube attachment points or cut away some of the metal and then paint or re-powder. Additionally, my experience with support was terrible. Now that it’s in the car, it looks nice.

Old one out and new one in, about 3 hours in the driveway, everything fit without busted knuckels!
