The CSF “Level-Up” Charge-Air-Cooler Manifold is a single-piece, CNC-machined billet aluminum charge-cooler + intake manifold developed with PWR (F1-grade core technology) and Studio RSR (S58 race-platform R&D). It replaces the OEM charge-cooler core and plastic end-tank/crimped construction with a motorsport-grade billet/TIG-welded assembly designed for high boost reliability, lower IATs, and reduced pressure drop.
Key Features
Billet aluminum manifold: CNC-machined + TIG welded into a single-piece unit
PWR F1-grade liquid-to-air bar & plate core
Pressure tested to 120 psi
Lower IATs + faster IAT recovery
Reported ~30°F reduction in IATs vs. OEM (setup dependent)
Reduced pressure drop vs. OEM core
Less stress on turbos and improved boost efficiency at higher power targets
Integrated bleeder screw for easier cooling-system bleeding
OEM gasket interface details
OEM-style teeth on flange for secure gasket seating
Machined coolant hose quick-connects
Harness/hose routing provisions
EVAP hose stand-offs
Multiple harness routing points + CNC front harness bracket
Clearance improvements
The rear of the manifold was cleared for easier access to the engine oil filter
Sensor expansion
