V2 Intercooler Kit
FITMENT: 2011-2020 F-150 EcoBoost, 2017 Raptor EcoBoost
*Frame Cut Bumpers - The Full Race intercooler does NOT fit all frame cut front bumpers. Please verify fitment before purchasing
The V2 Intercooler is the strongest and highest flowing intercooler ever developed for the Gen2 Raptor and F-150 EcoBoost. Featuring aerodynamic cast end tanks with internal flow dividers supporting a 1000cfm flow rate (70% more internal flow area than stock), and <1psi pressure drop at 700 hp airflow levels. The stock EcoBoost intercooler location is less than ideal for cooling, but it also doesn’t help if you’re planning to install a winch, steel bumper, or run a snowplow, while our Intercooler allows for installation of all the above. Each and every unit is leak tested to 50psi (even small pinhole leaks can cause loss of power.)
F-150 is a tough truck that will be subjected to work site and off-road abuse, high strength and durability are critical. Whether upgrading for increased performance or adding a winch / prerunner bumper – Intercooler upgrades are the recommended first modification for turbocharged EcoBoost engines. Also known as the CAC (charge air cooler), the stock F-150 CAC is located below the radiator in the lower front grille area. The OEM EcoBoost intercooler uses a thin aluminum core crimped to plastic end tanks, allowing ‘heatsoak’ (intake air temperatures rise uncontrollably) and a corresponding reduction in power.
The stock intercooler can not fit a winch or aftermarket bumper and it can’t handle increased airflow from larger turbos or a tuned F-150 with stock turbos. In comparison, we use an aerospace quality intercooler core and our end tanks are expertly TIG welded in precise fixtures. The lower support beam is hand-fabricated from high strength steel then powder coated black. Using 3″ inlet / 3″ outlet, the coldside charge pipe is available with water/meth bungs as requested.

In high humidity or rainy environments, the stock intercooler position can lead to condensation water building-up inside the stock cooler. Upon sudden acceleration and boost, this water can be introduced into the engine, causing a misfire event. We recommend using a mechanical vent-to-atmosphere BOV (blow-off valve) on the lower charge pipe, after the intercooler. These can help evacuate moisture from the charge air stream before it enters the engine’s throttle body. The 2015 eBOV may leak boost above 22psi, so we strongly recommend using a mechanical BOV for any high boost setups.
