Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit, part number MMINT-FOST-13KPBK, is a direct-fit forced induction upgrade built specifically for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST’s 2.0T EcoBoost engine. This version pairs a black bar-and-plate aluminum core with polished aluminum piping, replacing the factory hot-side pipe and eliminating the turbo muffler to open up the entire induction system for greater airflow.
Where the stock intercooler and piping left performance on the table, this Mishimoto forced induction system swaps degradation-prone rubber connections for wire-reinforced silicone couplers, delivering a longer-lasting, smoother-flowing hot-side and cold-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, while the redesigned cold-side pipe adds a 10-percent increase in volume and a 40-percent increase in flow over the factory piece. The bar-and-plate core itself increases core size by 128-percent and fin surface area by 32-percent, opening up air channels so charged air passes through more freely, dissipates heat more effectively, and helps ward off heat soak under demanding driving. Combined with other Mishimoto Focus ST parts, this induction system upgrade is rated for 8 HP and 10 lb.-ft. of torque gains, with the kit itself carrying a maximum horsepower rating of 550 HP.
