The quality, fit, and finish of our CLA intercooler upgrade is amazing. When compared to the stock unit, the gains start at a respectable 8 Wheel HP and 12 ft/lbs of Tq at the tires, BUT to our surprise, on the SECOND run, the factory intercooler heat soaked so terribly that the increase jumped to 20 Wheel HP and 23 Wheel Tq, then went as high as 50 Wheel HP above 4500 RPM! *See DYNO Charts
Our Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 Front Mount Intercooler Kit (FMIC) starts with a huge 24.0"x11.78"x3.0" bar and plate core. The leak tested core utilizes the same fin height for both internal and external rows with the external fins being louvered and offset from the internal fins. While this design has better heat transfer capabilities, pressure drop can increase. Normally, we would use plain style fins for the internal passages, especially on such a long core (24" long), however, we were able to help with the pressure drop by increasing the fin height from 0.25" to 0.375", resulting in outstanding cooling characteristics while maintaining minimal pressure drop. To further disperse the turbo air charge evenly across the entire core, we cast an internal splitter in the end tanks which also increases velocity. What is the result? A 50% reduction in air intake temps, gains reaching to 25HP and 25TQ above a heat soaked stock unit, and optimized engine efficiency through a colder, denser air inlet charge which the stock ECU will account for. Real gains of 50+ HP above 4500 RPM! All from an intercooler upgrade…
Ok I want it, but what about installation? I don't want to tear my car apart! Don't worry, once the bumper is removed (very easy), the intercooler can be installed in roughly an hour. Actually, the DYNO testing and installation of our FMIC was done without unstrapping the car from the DYNO! Not only did we do this to prove the ease of installation, but also to guarantee the most accurate DYNO results. The car could be returned to stock very easily.

Response from TurboKits.com
So if you buy one make sure you take to a welding place or custom shop like i did and have two gussets welded onto the outside that have holes in them so you can tap your frame/bumper and add more strength. As well make sure to get extra welds put onto the already stock brackets because they will snap.
Before purchase, I did hours of research to see which would be the best bang for the buck mod for the CLA. There isn't much to say other than this thing is amazing. The quality material looks and feels top notch, (came with a dent, probably from manufacture or shipping but no biggie). After removing the turbo muffler, the car whistles while the turbo spools and its an absolute ear-gasm. -of course a new CAI helps too. Overall, this upgrade was the deciding factor of whether or not this car will traded for a C63/CLA45 AMG. After this mod, I plan on keeping it up to stage3/4 big turbo. If those upgrades produce the same quality performance, I am happy with my CLA250.
