Mazdaspeed 3 Performance Upgrade Top Mount Intercooler

	CODE	Intercooler End Tank Finish	Availability	Price
	CODE:GEN-6-930-100	Aluminum Finish	Availability:In stock	$367.99

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

16 Rows of Cooling Fins help drastically lower post turbo air temperatures for your Mazdaspeed 3.

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.

The TMIC, With 3.25 inches of thickness, the extra capacity allows significant cooling capabilities for your Mazdaspeed 3.

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

Top Mount Intercooler bolts to the car like instructed but as far as ease of reusing the factory cover (which is the only reason why I wanted this TMIC) is not going to be done without a fight. I understand that the backside of the cover will have to be ground down to be reused and that is not the issue. The issue is that there is a huge gap at the front of the cover where it attaches with the mounting bolts between the cover in the intercooler so now I am going to have to completely change bolts there and use a 1/4" to 3/8" spacer between to attach the cover properly and then at the back of the cover where the alignment (triangle) part of the cover is interfering with the corksport strut tower brace.

How does the shroud make "maximum performance gains"? Can anyone explain this?

Brando05/22/2014, 06:44 PM

Perfect fit and looks great! Turbo spools much faster and power is consistent. BATs dropped much lower than the stock TMIC and all this while maintaining a stealth look! Thanks for another great product!

Ken Wong05/19/2014, 07:11 PM

By far the most intriguing upgrade from Corksports. Simply stunning how well this one part makes your MS3 perform more efficient with the power delivery. The turbo spools way faster and boost continues into the higher RPM ranges much better now while putting down a bit more HP/TQ too. Running an AP safe tune now until I install the CS FP internals and currently have the Stage II Intake/TIP and MZR bypass valve installed. Still safe with FP readings! Beginning to get pretty fast now...

Ohh and thanks for the postcard CS! The wait wasn't bad with the IC so no worries! Hit me up if you guys ever swing through SC for god know what reason...streets are getting packed with more crazy shit every day!

Ryan Feeley04/19/2014, 07:33 PM

Sorry Novice Here...When you say tune what do you mean? I plan on buying the TMIC For my speed 6. Thanks

do i need to upgrade some parts b4 i buy this?

Kert Anthony alcover02/11/2014, 11:43 PM

hi corksport...i have an SRI stage1 which is already upgraded ..do i still have 2 upgrade anything b4 i buy this top mount intercooler ?

Kert Anthony alcover02/09/2014, 09:48 PM

I Had these awesome TMIC since april 2013! first of, the best finish ever ! and compare to our stock TMIC, this piece is a beast !! definitely worth every penny !

I have 2012 MS3 & already have catback & short ram intake & I'm planning on purchasing the TMI, down pipe + 80 mm cat & a BOV. Will the engine hold up fine with all these mods or does maintenance need be applied?

Michel Hojda12/14/2013, 01:05 PM

Got this for a great price on a holiday sale, and it's definitely a worthy investment. I'm consistently hitting boost targets even at higher ambient temperatures, and the core is shedding heat at highway speeds much faster than I anticipated for a heavy bar and plate design.

Will replacing the TMIC require a new gasket during installation?

Does this utilize the stock charge piping? If running this setup, does the charge piping matter that much? They are pretty short pipes/bends, so I would imagine it wouldnt make much of a difference.

Two questions actually; 1. How much does the piece weigh vs stock? 2. An earlier question asked about CARB certification for this part -- I am in California and I am interested to find out if this would cause my car to the visibility aspect of the test (where the person conducting the test visually inspects the engine to see if modifications have been made.)

I installed this the other day and wow, what a difference I'm seeing. My only concern is I'm getting a high pitched hum (not whistle, more like letting the air out of a balloon and pinching the end but not quite as high pitched as that) coming into the cockpit at high loads from somewhere in or under the dash (hard to pinpoint). Could it be from not running the stock shroud? I'm pretty sure I got all my hoses tightened enough, but before I start troubleshooting I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen? Thanks

Will this work with an '06 speed6? The TMIC piping changed between '06 and '07, and this TMIC doesn't look like it has the fittings that will work on an '06.

I just installed Stage II SRI and the Dual VTA Bypass Valve )OMG, love it!). I want to install this TMIC next before getting an AP. I see you recommend the fuel pump internals prior to installing the TMIC to someone running stock. Should I consider getting the fuel pump internals first? My plan is to do, TMIC then AP, then Cat-Back exhaust. Suggestions?
