The Airtec Stage 2 Intercooler Upgrade for the Citroën DS3 1.6 turbo has been developed to drastically reduce Intake temperatures, thereby delivering more power and stability, particularly in tuned engines.
This front-mount Intercooler utilises a high-flow single-pass core that is larger in width, height and depth than the original Intercooler. Combined with cast end tanks, this ensures a more efficient airflow and better cooling without the need for any modifications to the bumper.
Tests show an average power gain of +11 pk, thanks to significantly lower Intake temperatures and more stable performance under load.
