Intercooler Pump Upgrade Kit for Bosch PCA Pump

Upgrade kit to replace the Bosch PCA pump used in many earlier liquid to air intercooler systems. Includes higher flow flow Bosch brushless intercooler pump (see images for flow comparison graph), adapter harness and bracket.

The Bosch PCE-XL pump included in this kit is a newer, higher flow pump that uses a brushless DC motor for increased durability and higher efficiency than the over 25 year old design of the original PCA pump. The brushless Bosch PCE pump included in this kit outflows the original PCA pump across the entire operating pressure range of the PCA pump and can operate at significantly higher restriction levels without stalling the pump. See the flow comparison in the listing images. Note that as flow increases so does pressure drop (restriction) so it is not accurate to compare the flow at the same restriction to see what your new flow will be (doing so makes the difference look larger than it really is). As a reference, back to back testing of the two pumps in the same system shows a roughly 40% increase in flow. 

The Bosch PCA pump was used in many early OEM supercharger systems including these vehicles:
1999-2004 Ford F150 Lightning
2007-2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
2005-2010 Roush Mustang GT
2009-2013 Cadillac CTS-V
2006-2009 Cadillac STS-V
2006-2009 Cadillac XLR-V

And in by many aftermarket supercharger kit manufacturers (some kits used different pumps verify your pump pump before purchasing), including:
Magnuson
Edelbrock
Whipple
Harrop
VMP

If you aren't sure what pump you have, follow the intercooler lines to the pump and if it has a Bosch label with part number 0-392-022-002 (see listing images for example) then you have the PCA pump and this is the correct kit for you. If you still can't tell, send us a picture or other vehicle details and we will help you identify your pump.

BE SURE TO USE DISTILLED WATER AND ANTI-FREEZE in your intercooler system. Tap water has dissolved mineral that will cause pump failure and reduce intercooler efficiency. And anti-freeze not only reduces the freezing point of the intercooler fluid (so it doesn't freeze in the winter), it also provides pump lubrication and intercooler system corrosion protection. You risk corroding metal components in your intercooler system, including the heat exchangers, without the corrosion protection of anti-freeze or equivalent.

Note - many systems that use the PCA pump use a 5 amp fuse. You will need to change to a 10 or 15 amp fuse for this pump. It draws 9 amps.
