2020-2023 Can Am Maverick X3 Turbo Race Intercooler

High charge air temperatures are the enemy for a turbocharged engine and our High Efficiency Race Intercooler is designed to combat this problem. 2017-2019 Turbo or Turbo R 2020+ Turbo R or RR How Intercoolers WorkIntercoolers work by reducing the temperature of the charge air from the turbo prior to entering the engine. In simple mechanical terms, cooler air is denser than hot air and denser air generates more power at the same boost pressure. From the ECU side of things, the final ignition calculation is dependent on feedback from the TMAP (Temperature Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor located on the intake manifold. This sensor measures both the pressure and temperature of the air that before it enters the engine. When racing or duning in high ambient temperatures and/or high boost pressures, as the intake temperatures climb past a certain threshold the ECU begins to pull timing to minimize the likelihood of detonation due to high intake temps which in turn reduces power.
