Hey guys,

So i'm looking at getting a 2019 Type R. It was in a minor crash and the owner replaced the radiator and intercooler with the megan brand.
Other than that, it's 100% stock.. Is that a good thing or bad? I've read larger intercoolers actually make overheating worse.. Just and advise would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

An upgraded intercooler makes overheating easier to do on the track due to blocking the radiator but they’re great for the street.

It really depends on size and type of intercooler. The ones you’d want to use on track likely aren’t the ones you’d want to use for street since there are two different goals with each setup.

I didn’t even know Megan made an intercooler for the type R. It’s probably not that great to begin with though.
