Maximum cooling in a limited space – this Airtec side-mount Intercooler has been specially developed for the Renault Megane MK4 RS and is aimed at drivers seeking the highest level of cooling efficiency and reliability for fast road and track use.
As Renault Sport prioritised the radiator in the MK4 RS, the original Intercooler is compact and positioned deep on the left-hand side. This presented Airtec with a clear challenge when developing a larger, more effective upgrade. The solution lies in a cleverly designed stepped core, which achieves a 42% increase in total capacity compared to the original Intercooler, combined with a larger frontal area to make optimal use of the available airflow.
the intercooler features CAD-designed, one-piece cast end tanks that ensure even and efficient airflow, on both the inlet and outlet sides. As with the original setup, an additional air scoop has been integrated to direct maximum airflow towards the core.
the intercooler is finished in high-quality black powder coating and is supplied as a direct replacement. The kit includes a Pro Hoses silicone top pipe, whilst the lower section connects to the original boost pipe and clamp. All fitting materials and clear fitting instructions are included.
