What is a charge air cooler?

A charge air cooler (CAC), also known as an intercooler, is a heat exchanger used to take the hot, compressed air from the turbo and cool it down before it enters the engine's intake manifold. A charge air cooler is a crucial engine component, ensuring that the engine receives cooler, denser air for combustion, leading to better performance and efficiency. An engine with a leaking charge air cooler will lose power and waste fuel. Dura-Lite's superior design and construction of the Evolution Charge Air Cooler means we are able to offer a 7-year, million-mile guarantee.
