Description
The Performance Top Mount Intercooler (TMIC) provides solid power gains and a great value to the Mazdaspeed 3, MS6 and CX7 turbo. Made from CorkSport’s own custom cast end tanks which are TIG welded to a 3.0” thick bar and plate core, the Mazdaspeed TMIC provides added performance by removing the bottleneck restriction of the stock intercooler and increasing resistance to heat soak by using thicker materials. The cold pipe connection is CNC milled and drilled for a leak proof connection and all bolt holes have been capped off.
The Performance Mazda Advantage
Better Cooling:
16 Rows of Cooling Fins help drastically lower post turbo air temperatures. Proven on a SuperFlow test bench to provide 46% more airflow over the stock intercooler.
More Capacity:
With 3.0" of thickness, the extra capacity allows significant cooling capabilities. During testing, the Mazdaspeed 3 TMIC showed an average decrease in pressure across the core by 53% and an increase in overall efficiency of 25% over the stock intercooler.
Cast Aluminum:
End tanks made of cast aluminum are durable and long lasting. Plus with a bar and plate intercooler core, you remove bottlenecking for more power with less boost.
The CorkSport Advantage

- Reduces pre-detonation (knock) of the fuel air charge
- Increased resistance to heat soak thanks to larger capacity and better airflow
- Fits the 2007-2009 Mazdaspeed 3, 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed 6, 2010+ Mazdaspeed 3, and Cx7

Quality build and very effective results! Bolts directly in place as an OE piece. I would highly recommend this upgrade!!

Absolute necessity for the MZR, either stock levels or performance. I ran this intercooler with stock setup, through turbo swap on 24lbs. Reduced knock across the board. Really settled things down. Great fitment. Excellent cast end tanks with solid welds. Kept nice and cool through pulls. I opted for the shroud, but decided to do without it bc the unit is great to look at. Was able to develop 24lbs on E30 mix flowing 390 grams / sec. More than enough to max stock fuel system with internal

This TMIC is amazing, a lot better than the stock one that came stock on my 2013 speed3. I recommend this product to anyone looking to upgrade their mazda. Thanks Corksport! I look forward to doing business with you guys in the future.

I just installed this and their BPV valve. I love them, call me crazy but my shifts got smoother, the increase in power is pretty sweet too. Thank you corksport!!!

Perfect fit, fast install, exceptional quality! This is the perfect TMIC if you ever plan on going with meth injection or ethanol, it's going to give you the best throttle response from any aftermarket TMIC, and it'll still fit the factory (genPu at least) shroud and only the hardcore MS3 owners might think it's not stock. Before my AP, I noticed that my powerband gained an extra 800-1k rpm worth of top end power, meaning I didn't need to shift at 5500 rpm to keep it in the sweet spot. Even without meth or eth this is perfect for a heavily bolted car while keeping top notch throttle response. I would personally only torque the cold pipe bolts to 12 ft/lbs, as 15 is a lil too much in aluminum with steel bolts.

Easy install. With a cold air and aftermarket BOV noticed a big difference immediately and had a very smooth crisp spooling sound. obviously a better quality product than stock. Ready now for Accessport, turboback, HPFP, and possibly to big turbo!? Buy this product if you do not want to deal with custom pipe work and will not be ramming your car so much that heat soak will be an issue!

Easy install. Went ahead and reset battery to relearn A/F. Instant difference. Top end of second into third has ALOT more torque. Matched with my Cobb BPV, shifts produce a sharp and crisp recirc. There is no comparison between the stock unit and the Corksport unit. Night/day difference in quality and craftsmanship.

Fits like a glove and 30 minute install at most. Consistently hitting boost targets and spool up is much smoother. Vehicle has much more power in higher RPMs. Not to mention stock shroud fitment is a plus. High recommend this TMIC!
Chad Carroll
Great Product, Great finish. CorkSport has top of the line product for the right price. I installed this along with my charge tubes, HPFP, DP and CBE all in one night. Its making a big difference than the stock unit which is trash. This is a very quick fix took about 10 minutes to install. Currently being tuned by Will Dawson from Purple Drank Tuning and he loves my set up. You guys need a tune hit him up.

Very impressed with this upgrade turbo spools a heap better over standard TMIC. This unit is a highly recommended 1st upgrade for your Mazda 3 MPS or Mazdaspeed 3. UNREAL!!!!
