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
- Optional Aluminum Shroud For maximum performance and airflow, or maintain your factory engine shroud to keep a stealth look.
- 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

Amazing product with a great finish. Easy installation along with the CorkSport Boost Tubes helped to really improve both the performance and aesthetics of the engine bay. Couldn't ask for a better product!
Chuck
Absolutely love the CS TMIC, fit and finish is exactly as described by the CS team. The airflow improvements are noticeable immediately without tune and with a tune the whole engine feels lighter with the turbo not having to work as hard(I'm running SRI+TIH+TMIC). Digging the superior cooling as well! Thanks again to the whole team at CS!

would it show the same performance gains from 07-09 vs 10'-13' since Gen2 has a hood scoop and Gen 1 does not have a hood scoop. I am planning on ordering it this afternoon and I currently own an 07' MS3. thanks ! more power to CS !!! >>CorkSport Reply: There is more of a gain with the 2010+ Mazdaspeed 3 with the better airflow to the intercooler.

Great product, make a difference you can feel!!!

Awesome bang for the buck and super simple install. Noticed faster boost on a stock tune, with a tune and supported mods I really noticed the gains.
Nigel
Great product. Excellent build quality and finish. Noticeable improvement in spool time and more top-end.
Kevin
Super easy install which increases throttle response and spool of the turbo. Can really feel the difference in higher gears. Go get it!

Excellent product!

Great upgrade. Adds a good amount of power in higher gears. Install was 30 minutes at most and I took my time.
