Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler and Intercooler Pipe & Boot Kit bundle (MPN: MMINT-BR23-21KBSL) is purpose-built for the 2.3L EcoBoost-powered Ford Bronco, pairing a bar-and-plate intercooler with a full pipe-and-boot kit to upgrade the factory forced induction system in one package. Where the stock tube-and-fin intercooler relies on plastic end tanks, this Mishimoto unit uses TIG-welded cast aluminum end tanks and CNC-machined 6061 aluminum flanges for a more durable induction system built for daily driving and off-road use alike.
As a dedicated forced induction upgrade, this intercooler and pipe kit combination is engineered to lower charge-air temperatures and reduce restriction compared to the factory setup, delivering a cooler, denser air charge to the engine. Mishimoto’s testing recorded a 21.2°F reduction in outlet temperature, a 7% increase in flow over stock, and dyno-verified gains of 5.68 hp and 5.32 lb-ft of torque. In trail-simulation heat-soak testing, after six back-to-back dyno runs the intercooler still produced outlet temperatures 20°F cooler than the stock intercooler, showing the benefit holds up under sustained load whether you’re crawling trails or sitting in traffic. Because it’s a specific-fit forced induction system, the bundle retains full functionality of adaptive cruise control and 360-degree camera systems, so you gain performance induction without giving up factory driver-assist features.
