Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit (MMINT-FOST-13KBBK) replaces the restrictive factory intercooler and piping on the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST’s 2.0T EcoBoost engine with a black-finished, bar-and-plate aluminum core and mandrel-bent aluminum piping finished in black. Engineered specifically for the Focus ST’s forced induction system, this kit ditches the factory turbo muffler and undersized rubber connections in favor of a smoother-flowing hot-side and cold-side path, delivering measurable gains without altering the ST’s stock fog lights or front bumper.
Every component of this forced induction upgrade was designed to move more charged air with less restriction and less heat soak. The bar-and-plate core construction opens internal air channels for freer flow than the factory core, increasing core size by 128 percent and fin surface area by 32 percent, while the all-aluminum end tanks and core aid heat dissipation to keep intake charge temperatures in check during demanding driving. On the piping side, the mandrel-bent hot-side pipe delivers a 14-percent increase in volume and 26-percent greater flow than the stock hot-side pipe, and the elliptical cold-side pipe, shaped to clear a larger Mishimoto radiator, adds a 10-percent increase in volume and 40-percent increase in flow versus the factory cold-side pipe. Combined, the intercooler and piping in this induction system upgrade provide a 21-percent increase in flow to and from the intercooler, and wire-reinforced silicone couplers replace the factory rubber for a longer-lasting seal on both sides of the system. Paired with other Mishimoto Focus ST parts, this force induction upgrade contributes 8 HP and 10 lb.-ft. of torque, and the kit carries a maximum horsepower rating of 550 HP.
