FAQs
What type of intercooler system is this additive for?
DEI Chill Charger is specifically designed for water-to-air intercooler systems.
Can I use this in my engine's radiator coolant?
No, this additive is formulated for water-to-air intercoolers only and should not be used in engine radiator systems.
How much additive should I use?
Refer to the product packaging or your vehicle's service manual for the recommended mixing ratio. Typically, it's added directly to the water in the intercooler reservoir.
Will this additive freeze in cold weather?
The product description does not specify freeze protection. It's crucial to consult product documentation or a specialist regarding its behavior in freezing temperatures and whether a separate anti-freeze agent is needed for your climate.
How often do I need to add more Chill Charger?
This depends on your driving conditions and system integrity. Regular checks of the fluid level are recommended, and replenishment should occur as needed or according to specific maintenance schedules.
What is the main benefit of using this product?
The primary benefit is maximizing thermal transfer within your water-to-air intercooler, resulting in a colder, denser air charge for improved engine performance.
Troubleshooting
No noticeable performance improvement
Verify the product was added to a water-to-air intercooler system and that the concentration is correct. Ensure your intercooler system is functioning properly and there are no leaks. Check that the air charge cooling is indeed the limiting factor for performance.
Intercooler fluid appears cloudy or discolored
This might indicate contamination or a reaction with system components. Drain and flush the intercooler system and refill with a fresh mixture. Ensure all system components are compatible with the additive.
System fluid level drops rapidly
This indicates a leak in the intercooler system. Inspect all hoses, connections, the intercooler core, and the reservoir for any signs of leakage and repair immediately.

- Not a standalone performance upgrade; effectiveness depends on the intercooler setup.
- Requires periodic monitoring and potential replenishment.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for Water-to-Air Chargecoolers / Intercoolers. It is not intended for use in engine coolant systems or other fluid applications.
Setup:
- Ensure your intercooler system is clean and free of debris.
- Locate the reservoir or fill point for your intercooler's water system.
- Carefully pour the recommended amount of DEI Chill Charger additive into the reservoir. Refer to the product packaging or a vehicle-specific service manual for precise ratios, as over-concentration can be detrimental. Typically, it is added directly to the water in the system.
- Securely close the reservoir cap.
Care:
- Periodically check the fluid level in your intercooler reservoir and top off as needed with the recommended mixture.
- Monitor your intercooler system for leaks.
- Depending on environmental conditions and system usage, the additive may need to be replenished. Consult product documentation or a specialist for recommended service intervals.
