Intercoolers are one of the first mods we recommend to people that are looking to mod their Ecoboost. The factory units are woefully inadequate and can heat soak very easily. It is very common for an Ecoboost with a factory intercooler to see 150+ degree charge temps after one 3rd gear pull. This is with outside temperatures being in the 90’s. Generally, your street intercoolers (made by cv fab, garret, cobb, etc.) are a direct replacement for the factory intercooler while retaining the factory grill shutters. These tend to work well for the everyday car below 500hp that doesn’t do any real track racing or extended high-speed pulls. For vehicles in more extreme climates, wanting to make big power, or vehicles that are going to be doing track day sessions, we highly recommend the larger Race intercooler or adding methanol injection to your vehicle to drop your charge temperatures below ambient.
