The Airtec 150 Diesel intercooler upgrade for the Seat Leon Mk1 150PD uses the very popular Cupra R Intercooler which is capable of 400bhp. The kit comes complete with full alloy boost pipe kit, custom made silicone hoses and coolant rad pack brackets that secure the radiator and Air-con radiator in place (the standard intercooler secure these in place as standard)
VAG have used a front mount intercooler design as standard. This intercooler is adequate for cooling non-modified vehicles, but as our tests have proven, once even a basic remap of the ECU had been carried out, the Intake temperatures had risen to very high levels, which in turn leads to power loss.
By fitting a bigger more efficient Airtec Intercooler the intake temperatures are kept constantly cooler, keeping your engine safe and your power to the maximum!
