Description
The Mishimoto Intercooler Pipe Upgrade Kit, part number MMICP-BR23-21UHP, is a direct-fit forced induction upgrade engineered specifically for 2.3L EcoBoost Ford Bronco owners who already run the Mishimoto High-Mount Intercooler. Rather than a generic charge pipe, this kit is the missing link that completes the full Mishimoto charge air system, replacing the factory plastic piping with high-flowing aluminum tubing and DuraCore silicone boots built to handle real boost pressure.
As a forced induction component, this pipe kit is designed to let your 2.3L EcoBoost turbo breathe. Mishimoto states the pipes flow up to 61-percent better than the stock plastic piping and are up to 60-percent less restrictive, which means less turbulence and more usable boost reaching the intercooler. When paired with the Mishimoto High-Mount Intercooler, the complete forced induction system has produced dyno-proven gains of 4.5 HP and 10.8 lb-ft of torque on a stock tune. An additional 1/8-NPT port on the cold-side pipe adds flexibility for methanol injection or extra sensors, making this induction system upgrade as functional as it is durable.
Vehicle Applications
This kit is built for the 2021-2024 Ford Bronco 2.3L EcoBoost (2.3L Turbo I4, chassis code U725). Within the Bronco lineup, it covers the Badlands, Big Bend, and Outer Banks trims for model years 2021 through 2026, the Base trim for 2021-2023 and 2025-2026, the Black Diamond trim for 2021-2024, the Everglades trim for 2022-2025, and the Heritage Edition for 2023-2026. This kit is specifically intended for Broncos already equipped with the Mishimoto High-Mount Intercooler; if your Bronco has the stock intercooler, Mishimoto’s standard Performance Intercooler Pipe Kit is the correct choice, and if you run a Mishimoto Stock Location Intercooler, the Performance Intercooler Pipe Upgrade Kit applies instead.
