Using this intercooler upgrade kit is easy. First, make sure you have all the parts included in the kit: an intercooler assembly with billet end tanks, two 304 stainless steel worm drive hose clamps, and a cardboard 'PRL' logo stencil. Since it uses factory mounting spots, you don't need to cut, fit, or trim anything. Just install it in place of the factory intercooler. You don't have to do any ECU calibration, and it's compatible with the factory charge piping. For the best performance, you can pair it with a charge pipe upgrade kit. Remember, if you choose a powdercoated intercooler, it will take an additional two weeks to be processed and shipped. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the intercooler for any signs of damage or leaks. Regularly check the hose clamps to make sure they are tight. With proper use and maintenance, this intercooler will help your Acura TLX Type - S perform at its best.
