This unit features a robust design with smooth-flowing cast tanks and a highly efficient bar and plate core, ensuring optimal heat exchange and airflow.
At the heart of this intercooler is a core that is 100% vacuum brazed, which enhances durability and thermal performance. The core boasts louvered external fins combined with a finely crafted internal fin pack. The unique offset and staggered arrangement of the internal fins maximizes airflow, allowing every air molecule to effectively transfer heat away from the core. This innovative design achieves an impressive efficiency rating of 82%, with only a minimal pressure drop of 0.75 psi at 300 HP. The intercooler can handle a flow rate of 1080 CFM, accommodating high boost levels as configured by the engine.
Constructed to withstand harsh conditions, the vacuum brazed bar and plate core is designed to resist damage from rocks and debris, making it a reliable choice for performance applications. Custom cast Aluminum 356 end tanks complement the core, featuring deburred and shot-peened surfaces that are TIG welded for enhanced strength. Each unit undergoes a rigorous visual inspection and is pressure tested to 35 psi prior to shipment, ensuring fault-free operation upon installation.
For those looking to enhance their Saab 9-3's performance, the Extreme Turbo Systems 1000-10-IC-018 intercooler upgrade is a solid choice, offering both efficiency and durability without compromising fitment.
