Performance intercooler kit
Mercedes-AMG GT (C190) – M178
High-performance charge air cooling for sustained reduction of intake air temperatures – designed for constant performance, high durability and maximum thermal reserves.
Description
The performance intercooler kit for the Mercedes-AMG GT (C190 series) with the M178 V8 biturbo engine replaces the standard intercoolers with significantly more powerful units. Increased cooling volume, optimized airflow, and flow-optimized end tanks result in lower and more stable intake air temperatures – even under sustained high-performance driving, high ambient temperatures, and with performance-enhanced setups.
Technical benefits
- Reduction of intake air temperatures under load
- Constant power output without thermal limitations
- Improved knock resistance at increased boost pressure
- Protection against temperature-related performance reduction
- Optimal basis for Stage 1 to Stage 3 concepts
Construction & Assembly
- Significantly enlarged bar-and-plate cooling network
- Flow-optimized end tanks for high airflow
- High-quality aluminum construction
- Designed for high boost pressures and air masses
- Vehicle-specific plug-and-play integration
Driving Operation & Performance
- Stable performance even under repeated full load
- Reduced power loss due to heat build-up
- More thermal reserves for sporty driving
- Increased stability during high-performance conversions
compatibility
- Mercedes-AMG GT C190 – M178
Area of application
Developed for high-performance road vehicles, sporty performance conversions, and track day cars. Especially recommended for increased thermal stress on the M178 V8 biturbo engine.
Notes
Installation should only be carried out by a qualified specialist workshop . A functional test of the entire charge air system is recommended after installation.
