Forced Induction
Forced induction systems encompass every method of pushing air into an engine at greater than atmospheric pressure, including turbochargers driven by exhaust energy, superchargers driven mechanically by the crankshaft, and prochargers using centrifugal designs belt-driven at higher ratios than traditional roots-type blowers, with each approach delivering a significant increase in air mass per cylinder fill that allows proportionally more fuel to be burned and more power to be produced without increasing engine displacement. Adding 10 PSI of boost pressure to a naturally aspirated engine can increase power output by 50 to 70 percent depending on the engine's breathing efficiency and the quality of the supporting hardware, making forced induction the most power-dense modification available relative to cost and complexity. This collection covers complete forced induction systems, turbocharger and supercharger hardware, intercoolers, blow-off valves, wastegates, and supporting component...

Intercooler Components
Intercooler components let you build, upgrade, or repair your charge cooling system without replacing the entire intercooler assembly. Quality piping, silicone couplers, mounting brackets, and core upgrades make a meaningful difference in keeping intake temperatures low on high-boost builds and daily-driven turbocharged vehicles alike. Popular Upgrades Frequently ordered intercooler components include upgraded silicone coupler hose kits to replace cracked or blow-off-prone rubber hoses, intercooler core upgrades for higher bar-and-plate or tube-and-fin density, aluminum intercooler piping sets that replace restrictive OEM plastic pipes, and universal mounting brackets for custom intercooler positioning on fabricated builds. What causes intercooler components to fail? The most common intercooler component failure points are silicone or rubber couplers that crack or split under repeated heat cycling, plastic OEM piping that becomes brittle over time, and mounting brackets that fatigue...

Intercoolers
An intercooler is the single most important component in a turbocharged induction system for supporting power gains from higher boost. By cooling compressed air before it enters the engine, an upgraded intercooler delivers denser, cooler charge air that allows more fuel to be safely injected and combusted, directly translating to more horsepower and torque. Popular Upgrades Best-selling intercooler upgrades include front-mount bar-and-plate aluminum intercoolers for Subaru WRX and STI, Mitsubishi Evo, and Volkswagen GTI platforms, direct-fit top-mount intercooler upgrades for rotary and compact turbo applications, and heavy-duty intercooler upgrades for Ford Powerstroke and Dodge Cummins diesel trucks where factory coolers are prone to failure under load. What is the difference between bar-and-plate and tube-and-fin intercoolers? Bar-and-plate intercoolers use a stacked aluminum plate construction that is more durable and provides superior cooling efficiency but adds more weight. Tu...
