AMS Automotive Turbocharger Intercooler Pumps: Engineered for Forced Induction
When twin-turbocharged engines push hard, heat becomes the enemy of power. AMS Automotive — widely recognized under the AMS Performance banner — has built a reputation over more than two decades of documented research and development in the forced induction field, and their turbocharger intercooler pumps are a direct result of that engineering-first philosophy. These aren't generic off-the-shelf components; they're purpose-built solutions targeting specific platform weaknesses that cost real power.
The Red Alpha VR30 Auxiliary Intercooler Pump Kit
AMS Automotive's flagship intercooler pump offering is the Red Alpha VR30 Auxiliary Intercooler Pump Kit, designed specifically for 2016–2021 Infiniti Q50 and Q60 owners running the 3.0L Twin Turbo VR30 engine in non-Red Sport trim levels. The core problem this kit solves is well-documented: the VR30's twin turbos generate significant heat that robs the engine of power, and Infiniti reserved the second intercooler pump exclusively for their top-tier Red Sport models. AMS identified this gap and engineered a direct solution.
The kit raises a non-Red Sport vehicle's intercooler cooling system performance to Red Sport levels without requiring major modifications. Critically, the pump is controlled by the OEM ECU, meaning it operates just like the factory Red Sport pump — seamlessly integrated, not bolted on as an afterthought. It is also wired with its own dedicated power supply directly from the battery, eliminating voltage drop when the pump ramps to full speed under hard acceleration or track use.
What Makes AMS Stand Out in This Category
- Flow-tested components: Each individual pump is flow-tested before leaving the facility to ensure consistent, peak performance — not just a spec sheet promise.
- Complete bolt-in kit: The package includes everything needed for a direct bolt-in installation, with comprehensive online instructions, reducing guesswork for the installer.
- System-level thinking: AMS designed the pump kit to pair with their Red Alpha Heat Exchanger, Red Alpha Auxiliary Coolant Tank, and Red Alpha Expansion Tank, allowing builders to construct a fully upgraded VR30 cooling system that works as one cohesive unit.
- OEM ECU integration: Unlike standalone auxiliary pump kits that require separate controllers, AMS’s solution communicates directly through the factory ECU for factory-grade reliability.
- 25+ years of forced induction expertise: AMS has spent over two decades in the forced induction aftermarket, with motorsport-proven engineering behind every product they release.
Who This Kit Is For
If you own a non-Red Sport Q50 or Q60 with the VR30 engine and plan to push beyond stock power levels — whether through a tune, upgraded turbos, or a full Red Alpha build — addressing the intercooler pump is a foundational step. Heat soak during sustained acceleration is one of the first limitations enthusiasts encounter, and an underpowered coolant pump compounds the problem. AMS has engineered a straightforward, OEM-quality answer to that challenge.
