Description

The SPELAB 6.0L Powerstroke intercooler is constructed with durable cast aluminum end tanks and a robust bar-and-plate core, designed to reduce intake temperatures, enhance airflow, and minimize pressure drop. By reducing pressure drop, this intercooler will extend the lifespan of your turbocharger and boost the efficiency of your Powerstroke. The SPELAB Powerstroke intercooler boasts a core with greater volume compared to the factory cooler, resulting in numerous performance advantages including increased pressure tolerance and lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs). This intercooler is engineered to provide significant benefits for a stock truck while also supporting the power and boost levels of a heavily modified truck.
