I also recommend when the front is off spray the radiator down with simple green a time or 2 and let it soak in hose off lightly , gets rid of the grime on the radiator to help temps.
Do you know if I’ll have to make any modifications to my 2012 s coupe r58 in order to install this Intercooler? Also I seen you had to drill a hole on the frame to mount it? Shouldn’t the hole be there already? What size drill bit did you use?
You should only have to make minor modifications behind your bumper. I have the Hypersport package, which is why I had to modify my bumper this much. The OE intercooler is much smaller, so there’s no mount hole on the crash bar for it. I believe it was a 1/4 inch drill bit.
It should just be light trimming. It should stay completely behind the grill on yours. Mine has to be this extreme due to the different bumper that came with the Hypersport package.

It did come with the hardware.

The size difference between old and new cooler is ridiculous 😂
The original one is a joke. The CTS Turbo intercooler is awesome.

@ gotcha, thanks for the info! I’m looking to get this intercooler soon and some other goodies. Already have their air intake
Nice! They make awesome products.
next time u can leave the grill on just take the tops it comes off as a unit attached to the bumper.
I didn’t think about that. You’re right, thank you.
What do u mean?
