Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit, part number MMINT-RS-16KSL, is a direct-fit forced induction upgrade engineered specifically for the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS and its 2.3L EcoBoost GTDi I4. Built around a bar-and-plate aluminum core, this kit delivers a 36-percent increase in internal core volume and a 214-percent increase in external fin surface area over the factory piece, cutting air outlet temperatures by almost 40 percent while minimizing inlet/outlet pressure drop.
As a complete forced induction system, this kit pairs the upgraded intercooler core with a matched piping kit to keep the entire induction system flowing efficiently. The custom hot-side pipe increases internal volume by 40 percent over stock and is specifically shaped to route airflow over the stock PTU cooler, while the wire-reinforced silicone cold-side pipe increases diameter for improved charge flow and turbocharging system longevity. Together, this performance induction upgrade is rated to support up to 600 horsepower and adds a bolt-on gain of 7 whp and 8 wtq with a stock tune, making it a serious force induction improvement for track days, spirited street driving, or simply keeping heat soak in check.
