Air-to-liquid (ATL)

The position of the intercooler in ATL intercooling is quite similar to top mount intercooling. The main core will be situated within the engine bay while the water radiator will need to be front mounted for adequate air flow. As can be seen below there are 2 main positions that can be chosen.
