Eat Sleep Race Gold Finish

One of the defining features of this intercooler is the exclusive gold finish.

Benefits include:

• Unique appearance
• Premium aesthetics
• Engine bay showpiece
• Distinctive motorsports styling

Let’s be honest—half the reason people buy the gold version is because it looks absolutely ridiculous in the best possible way.

Large Bar-and-Plate Core Design

The intercooler features a substantial cooling core.

Overall Dimensions

• 31 inches wide
• 11.75 inches tall
• 3 inches thick

Core Dimensions

• 23.5 inches wide
• 11.75 inches tall
• 3 inches thick

This large footprint provides significant cooling capacity for high-performance applications.

3-Inch Inlet and Outlet Design

Specifications

• Inlet: 3 inches
• Outlet: 3 inches

Benefits include:

• High airflow capacity
• Reduced restriction
• Compatibility with common intercooler piping sizes
• Excellent support for large turbo systems

Supports Up to 32 PSI

Boost pressure capability is a major consideration when selecting an intercooler.

Maximum Rated Pressure

• 32 PSI

This makes the intercooler suitable for:

• Street performance builds
• Drift cars
• Road race applications
• Moderate to high-boost turbo setups

Thick 5mm End Tank Construction

The end tanks feature robust construction.

Tank Wall Thickness

• 5mm

Advantages include:

• Improved durability
• Greater pressure resistance
• Reduced risk of cracking
• Long-term reliability

This is especially important on vehicles running elevated boost levels.

Why Intercoolers Matter

Turbochargers compress air before it enters the engine.

That process creates heat.

Hot intake air can cause:

• Reduced horsepower
• Increased knock risk
• Reduced tuning headroom
• Heat soak

An intercooler lowers charge-air temperatures before the air reaches the engine.

Ideal for High-Horsepower Builds

The M-Line design works particularly well for:

Drift Cars

Supports repeated high-RPM operation.

Drag Cars

Provides cooling between hard launches.

Road Race Vehicles

Helps maintain power over extended sessions.

Street Builds

Delivers consistent performance during spirited driving.

Four Integrated Mounting Points

The intercooler includes:

• Four mounting locations
• Simplified fabrication
• Improved installation flexibility

Builders can create custom mounting solutions more easily.

Installation Considerations

Before purchasing:

• Measure available space
• Verify piping requirements
• Plan mounting solutions
• Confirm bumper clearance

Universal intercoolers require fabrication and should not be considered direct-fit upgrades.
