Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit (MPN MMINT-FOST-13KPGD) is purpose-built for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST and its 2.0T EcoBoost engine, and this configuration pairs a gold bar-and-plate core with polished aluminum piping and black silicone couplers. Mishimoto engineered this forced induction upgrade to replace the factory intercooler system’s restrictive hot-side pipe and turbo muffler, delivering a 26-percent improvement in hot-side flow and a 21-percent increase in flow to and from the intercooler itself.
As a dedicated induction system upgrade, this kit tackles the Focus ST’s biggest intercooling weak points: an undersized, muffled hot-side pipe and degradation-prone rubber connections. Mishimoto’s mandrel-bent aluminum piping opens up the diameter for smoother forced induction flow, while wire-reinforced silicone replaces the factory rubber for a longer-lasting, leak-resistant seal on both the hot and cold sides. The bar-and-plate core construction opens additional air channels compared to the stock core, letting charged air move through more freely, while the all-aluminum build helps dissipate heat and stave off heat soak during demanding driving. The result is properly cooled, denser air reaching the ST’s intake manifold, along with up to 8 HP and 10 TQ when paired with other Mishimoto Focus ST components, and a maximum horsepower rating of 550HP for this performance induction kit.
