Alta Performance 2007-2013 MINI R56 Turbo Intake System
ALTA Performance, again set the bar high for the competition! The ALTA
R56 Cold Air Intake not only adds proven 10WHP and 10ft-lbs of torque to
your 2007+ Mini Cooper S, but it also unlocks the sound from your
turbo! With our intake not only will you hear the turbo sucking in and
compressing the air, but you will hear the OEM blow off valve blowing
off.
Silicone Intake Hoses
Our 5ply Silicone Elbow is rated for 200psi, and 400 degrees. Like other
ALTA products this part is over built to ensure a life time of use.
This is one of the key features to our intake as the bend provides the
proper MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor reading and ensures no Check Engine
Lights.
Aluminum Intake Box
The ALTA R56 air box was designed around light weight aluminum. This
provides a stiff, strong, and corrosion proof shroud for the ALTA high
flow foam filter. A black wrinkle finish powder coat is applied to keep
things looking clean and finished for the life of the car.
High Flow Foam Filter
Included with all ALTA intake is a high flow, reusable foam filter. Our
sleek black, 2 piece design makes for easy cleaning of your filter. We
have always trusted foam to provide our customers with the highest flow
and best ability to keep dirt out of your engine!
Cold Air Intake
Our intake is designed to remove the OEM hood scoop plug/screen. During
initial testing we found removing this provides consistent ambient temps
to the filter. While it's not a traditional "Cold Air Intake" where
the filter is located in a fender well, the ALTA intake is just as good
as it still gets great constant ambient cold air. This is just one of
the reasons why or intake has dyno proven HP!
No Check Engine Lights
When dealing with MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensors, small changes to
turbulence in the intake system, can make huge changes to how the car
runs. Because we are familiar with this problem on other cars, great
care was taken to eliminate any turbulence issues that might throw a
CEL, or make the car run too lean or rich. We can say for a fact that
our intake replicates the stock MAF curve almost perfectly!
