Intercooler Construction
The PERRIN Intercooler Core is 28” long x 9.25” tall x 3.5” deep with a volume of 906.5 cu-in. which gives the PERRIN Intercooler the best overall design for cooling and pressure drop! The 3/8” bar and plate design is more durable than the tube and fin design and has the ability to withstand rocks and other debris.
Intercooler Finish
Every PERRIN Intercooler Core features a powder coat finish to protect your intercooler from the elements. There are two finish options: bright silver or stealth black.
End tanks design
PERRIN End Tanks are perfectly designed to disperse hot charge air across the entire intercooler core. By eliminating 90º corners and adding a smooth, gradual taper from top to bottom, turbulence is eliminated. Each end tank incorporates an innovative mounting tab which secures the core to the mounting beam.
Intercooler support beam
PERRIN Intercooler Support Beams are constructed from boxed steel and are powder coated black. Competitors use inexpensive aluminum bumper beams which saves a little weight but can be easily destroyed in a collision.
Intercooler Pressure Testing
Even the slightest leak can cause your vehicle to lose power, literally bleeding turbo boost pressure out the intercooler. PERRIN is one of the only intercooler manufactures who pressure tests every intercooler. We pressurize every intercooler to 50 psi on our special jigs. This ensures you never get a core with a leak!
Intercooler Stencil
Included with our front mount intercooler is a free PERRIN logo intercooler stencil. Use the stencil to easily paint the PERRIN logo across the front of your intercooler. Simply peel, stick, paint, and remove!

Boost Tubes:
PERRIN boost tubes are CNC mandrel bent from aluminum tubing for better weight reduction. Every boost tube has an over sized beaded end to ensure the hose clamps and couplers stay connected and sealed! We choose to take the smoothest shortest path to get air to and from the intercooler.
Right off the turbo a smooth offset coupler carries the hot side air charge to a perfectly matched 2.25” boost tube. We chose 2.25" tubing for a smoother, cleaner, obstruction free routing while still being large enough to flow more WHP than most turbos can put out. The air charge then is routed through the engine bay next to the battery, and down behind the radiator to the intercooler. The cold side boost tubes are mounted as high as possible in the engine compartment to clear all turbo and intake combinations as it travels to the throttle body through the engine bay.
T-Bolt Clamps:
PERRIN Performance T-bolt clamps are standard on PERRIN intercoolers. They are designed for uniform clamping at all points around the band. The wider band distributes the force over a larger area and the fine threaded bolts with nylon lock nuts allow for accurate torque and proper clamping. Never worry about having to re-tighten down the road, plus each PERRIN logo-ed clamp is made in the USA and has the torque spec engraved on each one. Advantage PERRIN!
Coolant Reservoir:
The PERRIN front mount intercooler kit includes a PERRIN Performance coolant overflow tank. It adds clearance for better boost tube routing, holds more coolant than previous designs and uses the OEM tank cap for a great seal! The PERRIN Performance coolant overflow tank is protected from the elements by a black texture powder coating. It looks great and makes the silk screened logo pop.
