Using this intercooler is easy. Just remove your stock intercooler and bolt this Mishimoto intercooler in its place. Make sure all connections are secure. When using your car, remember that a more efficient intercooler means better engine performance, but don't push your vehicle beyond its limits. For maintenance, check the intercooler regularly for any signs of damage or leaks. Clean it gently with a mild detergent and water to remove dirt and debris. If you notice any issues, it's best to have it checked by a professional.
