Kia Stinger DIY Intercooler – Part 4 The Install

Kia Stinger DIY Intercooler – Part 4 The Install

I decided I wanted to upgrade my intercooler on my 2018 Kia Stinger GT2, but I didn’t want to have to spend the $700 and up price tag of the available kits out there commercially. So I decided to build my own from generic parts online and raw materials from Lowes, Home Depot, and Amazon.

I stuck with 2.5” piping all around so that I did not have to increase and then decrease the pipes to work with the rest of the OEM intercooler piping.

This is the final video in the series and shows you how to go about putting in a custom DIY intercooler into your Kia Stinger.

How has driving with the new intercooler been? More responsive, quicker acceleration?
