Why the EcoBoost Intercooler Matters

Turbochargers generate heat as they compress air.

Without proper cooling:

• Intake temperatures rise
• Air density decreases
• Engine performance drops
• Timing may be reduced
• Heat soak becomes a problem

The intercooler lowers intake temperatures before the air enters the engine, helping maintain power and efficiency.

OEM-Style Direct Replacement

The A-Premium intercooler is designed as a factory-style replacement.

Benefits include:

• Direct-fit installation
• Factory mounting compatibility
• OEM-style hose connections
• No custom fabrication required

Perfect for owners looking to restore factory performance.

Aluminum Core Construction

Core Material

• Aluminum

Benefits include:

• Excellent heat transfer
• Corrosion resistance
• Lightweight construction
• Long service life

Aluminum intercoolers remain the industry standard for charge-air cooling systems.

Intercooler Specifications

Core Measurements

• Core Height: 16.09 inches
• Core Thickness: 2.21 inches

The dimensions closely match factory requirements to maintain proper airflow and cooling efficiency.

Common Signs of a Failing EcoBoost Intercooler

Boost Leaks

One of the most common turbo system failures.

Reduced Power

Acceleration may feel weaker than normal.

Check Engine Light

Boost-related diagnostic trouble codes may appear.

Excessive Turbo Lag

Leaks can reduce turbocharger responsiveness.

Oil Residue Around Charge Pipes

May indicate pressure leaks within the charge-air system.

Great for Towing and Hauling

The 3.5L EcoBoost is widely used for:

Trailer Towing

Maintains charge-air cooling under heavy load.

Boat Hauling

Supports consistent turbocharger performance.

Family Travel

Helps reduce thermal stress during long-distance driving.

Daily Work Use

Provides dependable cooling performance.

Supports Stock and Mildly Modified Builds

This intercooler works well for:

• Factory vehicles
• Intake upgrades
• Cat-back exhaust systems
• Mild ECU tuning
• Tow-focused setups

For extreme horsepower builds, larger aftermarket performance intercoolers may offer additional cooling capacity.

Replacement Reference Numbers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit all EcoBoost F-150 models?

No. This specific intercooler fits select 2013-2014 3.5L EcoBoost F-150 applications.

Will a bad intercooler cause power loss?

Yes. Boost leaks and poor charge-air cooling can significantly reduce performance.

Is this a performance intercooler?

It is designed primarily as an OEM-style replacement rather than a dedicated performance upgrade.

Can it help towing performance?

A properly functioning intercooler helps maintain consistent turbocharger performance during towing and hauling.

Final Thoughts

The A-Premium Turbocharger Intercooler is a practical replacement solution for owners of 2013-2014 Ford F-150 EcoBoost trucks and 2015-2017 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator models. With aluminum construction, direct-fit installation, and OEM-style performance, it helps restore the cooling efficiency and turbocharger performance these vehicles depend on.

Because when two turbochargers are working overtime to move a full-size truck or SUV, the last thing you need is an intercooler that’s taking the day off.
