General Description:
The ProECM Air-Water Intercooler offers superior cooling characteristics when compared to similar size competitors. In this intercooler, water flows through three aluminum tubes made by Laminova. They are 1.8 inches in diameter and 9 inches long, each extruded with a large central tunnel and 18 small passages around the edges for good heat transfer. Aluminum fins ring these tubes, spaced just 0.01 inch apart, providing a surface-area-to-volume ratio that's about 47 percent better than that of a radiator-type cooler. Also, cooled water makes one straight shot through the intercooler, rather than zigzagging back and forth through smaller tubes.
This IC setup offers maximum heat transfer and superior heat dissipation. With laminar flow and maximum liquid to surface contact, this intercooler provides maximum heat transfer efficiency with a low pressure drop. The flow is excellent and is roughly 320CFM at 1 psi of pressure drop (per Stefan Dunert of Laminova). This particular IC was used in a 8v T3 Garret turbo Scirocco. At 18psi and with no external tank, intake temps were between 87-97 degrees and the pressure drop was about 1psi.
The assembly is manufactured without soldering, and is sealed with O-rings to allow for easy servicing. Loctite 513 is used for all sealing surfaces.
The air-to-liquid system gives increased efficiency compared to an air-to-air system. With the air-to liquid system you will get cold air right from the start.

• Each core accommodates 120hp worth of air flow
• Good for 360Hp+
• Comes with 90 degree elbow
• Custom 90 degree plenum (Aetna Welding Cleveland)
IC can be mounted in the stock 1.8T IC location
Dimensions:
• General Dimensions: 11”x3”x5
• Air Fitting Diameter: 2.5”
• Water Fitting Diameter: .75”
• Heat Exchangers: 7”x7”
• Pump: 5.5”x2”
Features:
• Fully serviceable.
• Pressure tested to 50psi;
• Made of CNC-machined billet aircraft aluminum (6061-T6).
Kit Includes:
• ProECM Air-Water Intercooler.
• 12 volt Johnson pump (22.5 L/min or ~5gal/min)
• Pump mounting bracket
• Heat exchangers
• Custom 90 degree plenum
Not included with the kit:
• Hoses and clamps
• Loctite 513 (used for all sealing surfaces)
• Tank (which is optional and can be about 0.7-1.5 L)
Note:
It is recommended that you mount the pump as low as you can in the water circuit.
Per David Gustavsson of ProECM LLC there is no warranty for second hand owners, so this IC is sold as is.
New, this kit would cost ~$1450 retail.
