Product Description

A Breath of Fresh Air…

BD’s free flowing Charge Air Cooler (CAC) – or intercooler – design with streamlined external air passages improves engine cooling while offering less fan noise and less blade resistance, plus, improving engine power and efficiency of the radiator and air conditioning heat exchangers. Designed through testing at 130+ psi turbo boost pressure and 500°F turbo outlet temperatures, our extra thick cast end tanks with support struts have integrity and long life without ballooning and cracking.

Key Features

More power and better fuel economy, lower EGT
57% more cooling surface with 95% better heat dissipation
Withstand over 130 PSI of Boost
Larger passages provide more air cooling flow for the engines radiator resulting in less fan clutch engagement
High flow cast end tanks with balloon proof support struts
The strongest most efficient cooler on the market


Stuffed Tube designs are commonly used on stock applications with boost pressures of 20-40 psi and 200-300 °F inlet temperatures. The tubes have a thin wall and 82% heat conductivity transfer. Higher boost pressures and temperatures will cause breaking of fin-to-wall welds resulting in tubes ballooning and reduced heat transfer.


Micro Extruded Tube design is for applications producing 20-100 psi of boost pressure and inlet temperatures of 500+°F. The tubes have a 0.025” wall thickness and designed enhanced inner fins that add to performance and already strong support structure resulting in a 95% heat conductivity transfer. No cracking or separation occurred when tested at over 400 psi.

The lower the turbo boost pressure drop across the CAC (inlet vs. outlet) the higher the volume flow — the more volume of air that can flow through the CAC and the higher the turbo boost pressure will result in lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGT). BD’s Xtruded CAC’s are designed for performance diesel engines. This Product also comes with BD Diesel Performance’s One Year Parts Warranty.
