The CSF 8178 is a twin charge-air-cooler set in a crinkle black finish for the 2018-2022 BMW F90 M5 and the 2020-2025 F91/F92/F93 M8, including Competition and CS trims, with the S63 twin-turbo 4.4L V8. It is a custom liquid-to-air design with about a 100 percent increase in core volume per charge cooler versus the OEM units, using one-piece seamless air-inlet end tanks with integrated charge pipes and 100 percent TIG-welded cast end tanks in place of the OEM crimped plastic. It carries OEM-style quick-connect water connections, sensor ports, and dual 1/8 NPT ports per cooler for E85 or methanol injection. It is a plug-and-play drop-in fit, and CSF testing showed about a 0.3-second improvement in 60-130 mph times. A raw finish and custom colors are available.
