The tube-and-fin core is easy to damage on the road, undersized for what the FA20DIT actually runs, and the hood scoop opens wider than the OEM piece uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OVERTAKE Top Mount Intercooler replaces it with a substantially larger all-aluminium bar-and-plate core, cast aluminium end tanks, and a dual splitter that captures the full hood scoop opening the OEM piece leaves unused. A larger outlet end tank volume and a straight replacement for the OEM's complex outlet coupler round out the assembly. Fits stock charge pipes and stock intake manifold. \u003cstrong\u003eNo tune required.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Upgrade to the OVERTAKE VA TMIC?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBar-and-plate construction, dual splitters, and a reshaped outlet path give the TMIC more thermal capacity, sharper throttle response, and a simpler install: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBetter Ambient Distribution Across the Core\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLower Peak Intake Air Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore Air Captured Through the Hood Scoop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarger Outlet End tank for Tip-In Response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Results:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith all other factors the same, the OVERTAKE Top Mount Intercooler was able to maintain ~15°F lower peak intake air temperatures when compared to the factory intercooler.
