Further Information
The CSF #8127 is a high-performance stepped core intercooler engineered for turbocharged BMW N54/N55 engines. Designed as a drop-in replacement for stock units, this intercooler manages elevated intake air temperatures on modified vehicles while maintaining factory fitment and aesthetics.
The OEM intercooler's plastic end tanks and thin 4-inch core become a bottleneck on boosted builds. CSF's stepped design features a larger 5.5-inch thick bottom section with an 8.25-inch tall front face, utilizing their exclusive rounded bar/plate core construction that channels airflow more efficiently than flat-faced competitors.
Key Features:
- Rounded bar/plate core design optimizes airflow entry and heat transfer efficiency
- Drop-in fit requires no cutting, trimming, or crash bar modification
- Massive 8.25-inch tall front face with 5.5-inch core thickness for thermal capacity
