Technical Notes:

It’s no secret that Acura's Turbo TLX is extremely susceptible to heat-soak, especially when retaining the factory intercooler. Excessive heat-soak increases the risk of detonation and causes major power-loss due to high charge air and cylinder temperatures. These issues become even more prevalent with spirited driving and/or increased power outputs. The PRL Motorsports intercooler upgrade decreases charge air temperatures while increasing potential airflow with its dense 28 x 5 x 6.375" 650+ horsepower rated bar-and-plate core. Our intercooler core increases surface area by 54% and internal flow by 91% to allow optimal cooling and airflow. Billet machined aluminum end tanks maximize efficiency while looking as smooth as they flow! This intercooler utilizes factory mounting spots with our billet machined end tanks. To maintain consistency with most of our PRL product line, no cutting, fitting or trimming is required.

Kit Includes:

  • (1) Intercooler Assembly w/ Billet End Tanks
  • (2) 304 Stainless Steel Worm Drive Hose Clamp
  • (1) Cardboard "PRL" Logo Stencil

Reviews

"This upgrade is absolutely worth it no more heat soak under the hood and the engine bay stays cool compared to stock after 1 or 2 pulls it used to get super hot with the factory intercooler but now there’s barely any heat and it runs smoother with consistent power and can handle back to back launches without any drop in performance"

Salih (5/5)

"Perfectly made for the tlx type s, only hard part is really taking the bumper on/off, putting the interocoler and charge pipes in were pretty self explanatory and was the shortest part of the process for me personally"

Aidan (5/5)

"Fit perfect and functions so much better than the factory one"

James (5/5)

Outstanding product.

"I installed the new intercooler not long ago and it's a night/day difference. Temps are cooler and the car feels overall better. 1000% recomended."

This is a Must Have!

"Great quality product, I struggled a bit with getting the front bumper cover off, once I was pass that point very easy to install. This is a great bolt on!"

MUST HAVE UPGRADE!!!!

"This is an absolute must have upgrade for the Type S. I installed the PRL charge pipe kit along with this intercooler and the results were phenomenal. During cruising speeds ranging from 55-80mph on a 85 degree day I consistently saw IAT's in the 94-96 degree range. That's averaging 9-11 degrees above ambient temperature. These results are phenomenal considering the amount of heat under the hood with Type S. This should be your first upgrade!!!"
