Eat Sleep Race Gold Finish
One of the defining features of this intercooler is the exclusive gold finish.
Benefits include:
- Unique appearance

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.
