Technical Notes:

It’s no secret that Acura's Turbo TLX is extremely susceptible to heat-soak, especially when retaining the factory intercooler. Excessive heat-soak increases the risk of detonation and causes major power-loss due to high charge air and cylinder temperatures. These issues become even more prevalent with spirited driving and/or increased power outputs. The PRL Motorsports intercooler upgrade decreases charge air temperatures while increasing potential airflow with its dense 28 x 5 x 6.375" 650+ horsepower rated bar-and-plate core. Our intercooler core increases surface area by 54% and internal flow by 91% to allow optimal cooling and airflow. Billet machined aluminum end tanks maximize efficiency while looking as smooth as they flow! This intercooler utilizes factory mounting spots with our billet machined end tanks. To maintain consistency with most of our PRL product line, no cutting, fitting or trimming is required.

Kit Includes:

  • (1) Intercooler Assembly w/ Billet End Tanks
  • (2) 304 Stainless Steel Worm Drive Hose Clamp
  • (1) Cardboard "PRL" Logo Stencil

Nicholas C. ★★★★★

Bolted right up to the stock charge pipes with zero ECU fiddling, which took a load off my mind. Even on the RHD setup the fitment was spot-on, and I can already tell the extra flow is keeping the turbos happier on hot pulls.

Penelope Z. ★★★★★

I was worried about messing with the factory setup, but the fact that it needs no ECU calibration and bolts right onto the stock charge pipes made it a totally painless upgrade. The cooler intake temps are noticeable on hot days, and it fits my RHD model perfectly without any cutting or fuss.

Matthew ★★★★★

The install was straightforward since it keeps the factory charge piping, and I noticed the intake temps drop noticeably on my first pull. No tune needed was a huge plus for me, and the fitment on my 2021 TLX Type-S was spot-on.
