This radiator doesn’t cool engine coolant like your main radiator does. Instead, it cools the air that’s been heated up by the turbocharger. Turbochargers compress air to get more power out of the engine, but squeezing air makes it hot. This radiator takes that hot, compressed air and lowers its temperature before it gets into the engine. Think of it as a second stage of cooling, specifically for the air being forced into the engine. It's essentially a heat exchanger, using airflow over fins to pull heat out of the air. It sits typically up front, where it gets a good airflow, usually behind the main radiator or in one of the front openings. The hot air comes from the turbocharger, travels through the intercooler, and then goes into the engine’s intake manifold. It's a vital part of the turbocharged system—you can’t really have one working effectively without the other. It’s all about getting dense, cool air into those cylinders. Cooler air is denser air, and denser air means more oxygen for combustion. More oxygen means the engine can burn more fuel, and that means more power. It also helps prevent engine knocking—that’s when the fuel ignites prematurely, and it can really damage things. It acts like a shield against that. You’ll notice if this thing starts to fail—your engine might lose power, run rough, or even throw a check engine light. You can often find replacements online; Fixparts Online has a pretty good selection of these. It’s one of those parts that really impacts performance and engine health in a turbocharged vehicle. One size fits all: Low Temperature Radiator (MPN CIR25000P) has a 12-month warranty!
