Intercoolers for the Ford EcoBoost
Front-mount intercoolers and charge-air coolers that cure the EcoBoost's heat-soak on the 2.7 and 3.5 — bigger, denser cores hold IATs down for consistent power when towing or making boost.
0 parts
On a turbocharged engine, the intercooler decides how much of your boost actually reaches the cylinders as cool, dense air. The factory EcoBoost intercooler is a known weak point on modified and hard-worked trucks — it heat-soaks on repeated wide-open-throttle pulls and on hot days, and its internal condensation can trigger a stumble in cold, humid conditions. An upgraded front-mount intercooler (FMIC) is one of the most worthwhile bolt-ons for any EcoBoost that tows heavy or makes extra boost.
A bigger, more efficient intercooler core lowers intake air temperatures, restores consistent power on back-to-back pulls, and reduces the risk of heat-related timing pull. Pair it with upgraded charge pipes to eliminate the flex and cracking that plague the plastic factory couplers, and you have a cooling package that keeps the EcoBoost making its power run after run.

What to know before you buy
Heat-soak is the enemy
The stock intercooler holds heat during repeated pulls or heavy towing, and hot intake air makes the tune pull timing. A larger, more efficient core keeps intake temps down so the truck makes power consistently.
Cold-weather condensation stumble
The factory intercooler can collect condensation that, on a cold humid morning at wide-open throttle, gets ingested and causes a brief stumble or limp. Upgraded designs manage this better.
Upgrade charge pipes together
A better intercooler is only as good as the pipes feeding it. Aluminum charge pipes end the flex, blown couplers, and cracks that the plastic factory pieces are prone to under boost.
