Alpha Competition Mercedes-Benz A Class W176 A45 W117 CLA45 AMG M133 Charge Air Cooler Intercooler
669.99€
The Alpha Competition Mercedes-Benz A-Class W176 A45 and W117 CLA45 AMG Intercooler is the perfect upgrade for anyone looking to boost their turbocharged engine’s performance. Specifically designed for these models, this intercooler enhances the cooling efficiency of the air coming from the turbocharger, ensuring your engine stays cool under pressure and delivers maximum power when you need it most.
Built from high-quality materials, this intercooler is made to last and perform. Its larger core size and improved fin design provide more surface area, allowing the charged air to cool more effectively before it enters the engine. The result? Denser air entering the engine, which leads to increased power and better overall engine efficiency. It also reduces the risk of detonation, keeping your engine running smoothly and safely.
The biggest advantage of the Alpha Competition intercooler is the consistency it brings. During long drives, hard acceleration, or track days, it ensures that the intake air stays cooler. This is especially important in turbocharged engines, where heat soak can cause power loss. With this intercooler, you won’t experience that performance drop from overheating, giving you more control and steady power across the entire range.
Installation is easy—this intercooler fits right into the factory mounting points, so no major modifications are needed. You can keep the stock plumbing, or upgrade to better hoses and clamps for an even more reliable setup. It’s a straightforward way to enhance your car’s performance without turning your vehicle into a major project.
If you’re aiming to get the most out of your A45 AMG or CLA45 AMG, the Alpha Competition intercooler is a must-have. It keeps things cool when things heat up, delivers consistent power, and boosts engine efficiency—all with a hassle-free installation process.

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.
- Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content. Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
- Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
- Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
- Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
