SAAB 9-5 98-10 Intercooler

The best intercooler on the market for SAAB 9-5 1998-2010!

Background

It is worth noting that the original intercooler was designed for the car's original power output, and when increasing power or during very hard use of the car in its original configuration, its performance is no longer sufficient. Thus, even with increased boost pressure / software upgrade / chipping, our intercooler will provide improved performance!

The original intercooler has plastic end tanks that cannot withstand higher boost pressures for extended periods, which is why our intercooler also provides increased operational reliability.

A common misconception is that you cannot achieve good cooling performance from an intercooler with this placement and that a front-mounted intercooler / FMIC would be much better. But in reality, the do88 high-performance intercooler is far superior to most FMIC installations where only a core with too small a cooling area can be fitted, and often also with partially blocked air supply from, for example, a crash bar, which in many cases can result in worse cooling performance than the original intercooler.

Key features

• Core volume: 11803cm3 (6379cm3), do88 85% larger!
• Air flow at 0.15bar pressure drop: 296CFM (227CFM), do88 30% higher!
• Temperature after intercooler under the same test conditions: 32°C (53°C), do88 21°C lower!

The finished product

Fits directly into the specified car models! (See installation instructions for details) Made entirely of aluminum with CAD-designed flow-optimized cast end tanks and a carefully selected core to achieve the best possible cooling effect together with the lowest possible pressure drop!

The do88 high-performance intercooler comes with all necessary mounting points for installation in the car.
