Our ZZPerformance front mount intercooler kit for the LE2 powered 2nd generation Cruze is built from the ground up specifically for this platform. Beginning with a 3D scan of the engine bay and chassis, we utilized CAD software to design an intercooler with unique, custom cast end tanks to maximize intercooler core size and flow, while providing stock like fitment, ease of install and an aggressive performance look.
Our intercooler kit nearly doubles the size of your stock intercooler, ensuring that your IAT2's (intercooler air temp measured post intercooler) and MAT (manifold air temps) stay low and stay consistently low. The PCM references MAT and modifies boost and timing based on that, so by bringing those temps down you'll see consistency across your pulls, rather than just full power for one pull. Lower air temps = denser air = more power.
Includes:
- ZZP Intercooler core with integrated brackets
- CNC Mandrel bent aluminum charge pipes
- Stainless T-Bolt clamps
- Heavy duty silicone couplers

- All hardware needed for installation
PCM tuning is not needed for an intercooler upgrade.
