Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit (MMINT-FOST-13KBSL) was engineered specifically to solve the restrictive intercooling setup on the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST’s 2.0T EcoBoost engine. This kit replaces the factory hot-side pipe with mandrel-bent aluminum, deletes the turbo muffler, and opens up the piping diameter for a 26-percent improvement in hot-side flow, while a redesigned bar-and-plate core boosts overall intercooler efficiency.
As a purpose-built forced induction upgrade, this Mishimoto kit reworks every stage of the Focus ST’s induction system. The bar-and-plate core construction opens up internal air channels so charged air moves through more freely than the stock core allows, while the all-aluminum build helps dissipate heat and stave off heat soak during demanding driving. Wire-reinforced silicone couplers replace the factory’s degradation-prone rubber, smoothing flow through the cold-side pipe and sealing the hot-side connection for the long haul. Together, the reworked piping delivers a 21-percent increase in flow to and from the intercooler, making this one of the more thorough performance induction upgrades available for this platform, and when paired with other Mishimoto Focus ST parts it contributes 8 HP and 10 lb-ft of additional torque.
