ProCharger Air-to-Air Intercooler - Same Side Inlet/Outlet - 3 Inch - 500 HP - AI002A-003
Compact Same Side Air-to-Air Intercooler for Custom Forced Induction Builds
The ProCharger AI002A-003 Air-to-Air Intercooler is engineered for custom supercharger and turbocharger applications that require efficient charge-air cooling with a same side inlet and outlet configuration. Featuring 3-inch inlet and outlet connections, this compact intercooler is designed to support applications producing up to 500 horsepower, making it an excellent choice for street performance builds, engine swaps, and custom fabrication projects.
Built with a durable bar-and-plate core and heavy-duty sheet metal end tanks, the AI002A-003 efficiently reduces intake air temperatures before compressed air enters the engine. Cooler, denser air helps improve horsepower consistency, reduce heat soak, and enhance reliability under boost.
Same Side Configuration for Simplified Plumbing
The same side inlet and outlet layout is ideal for applications where both charge pipes need to be routed from the same side of the intercooler. This configuration can simplify custom plumbing while reducing the amount of tubing required in many engine bay layouts.
With its compact 18-inch wide by 12.5-inch tall core, the AI002A-003 provides excellent cooling performance while fitting a wide variety of custom front-mount installations.
