A 40% larger heat exchanger core results in less turbo backpressure and more cooling area for greater efficiency. This efficiency can be seen on the new Power Chart shown below. Compare these power settings with the original factory Power Chart.

• Despite the larger core size the complete intercooler installation weighs less than 11 lbs. a significant savings over the other kits available.
  
• The new Power Charts provided eliminate the need for a differential temperature gage and reduce the pilot workload.
  
• Overboost protection is retained through proper positioning of the factory overboost valve. This protection is not available on other intercoolers made for this aircraft.
  
•  Ease of installation allows a local FBO to install the kit in 10 hours or less. All necessary hardware for installation is supplied with the kit and no special tools are required. There are no modifications to the engine cowling and no painting is needed.
  
• Maintenance is facilitated by easy removal of the intercooler. Removing three bolts and three hose clamps allows removal of the intercooler.

• The Airflow Systems' intercooler is compatible with the Merlyn Wastegate. A minimal advertising budget and strict cost controls have allowed Airflow Systems to maintain the price of the Mooney 231 intercooler kit at $4,795. With the cost of a new cylinder running over $1,000 installed, the intercooler is indeed a bargain.
