Why Upgrade the Factory EcoBoost Intercooler?

Turbochargers create heat as they compress incoming air.

Higher intake temperatures can cause:

• Reduced horsepower
• Heat soak
• Lower air density
• Reduced towing performance
• Increased turbocharger stress

A larger intercooler helps reduce these issues by cooling charge air more efficiently.

Built Specifically for the First-Generation EcoBoost

This intercooler is engineered for:

• 2011 F-150 EcoBoost
• 2012 F-150 EcoBoost
• 2013 F-150 EcoBoost
• 2014 F-150 EcoBoost

Its vehicle-specific design helps simplify installation while maintaining proper airflow characteristics.

Fits with most aftermarket intercooler pipe kits

Large Cooling Surface Area

Overall Length

• 27.56 inches (700mm)

The increased cooling area helps:

• Improve heat dissipation
• Reduce intake temperatures
• Support higher airflow demands
• Improve consistency during repeated acceleration

This becomes especially important for tuned or heavily loaded trucks.

Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Construction

Material

• Aircraft-grade 5057 aluminum

Benefits include:

• Excellent heat transfer
• High strength-to-weight ratio
• Corrosion resistance
• Long service life

Aluminum construction is preferred for performance intercoolers because it efficiently transfers heat while maintaining structural integrity.

Fully TIG-Welded Design

Manufacturing Process

• 100% TIG welded

Advantages include:

• Strong weld integrity
• Improved durability
• Resistance to boost pressure
• Long-term reliability

TIG welding is widely regarded as the premium construction method for high-performance intercoolers.

Helps Reduce Heat Soak

One of the biggest complaints among EcoBoost owners is heat soak.

Heat soak can cause:

• Slower acceleration
• Reduced boost efficiency
• Inconsistent performance
• Power loss during towing

An upgraded intercooler helps maintain lower intake temperatures under demanding conditions.

Ideal for Towing

The EcoBoost F-150 was designed with towing in mind.

Benefits for towing include:

Travel Trailers

Maintains power on steep grades.

Boat Towing

Supports consistent turbocharger performance.

Equipment Hauling

Reduces thermal stress under sustained load.

RV Towing

Improves cooling during long-distance travel.

Supports Common EcoBoost Modifications

Popular upgrades include:

• ECU tuning
• Cold air intakes
• Downpipes
• Exhaust systems
• Upgraded turbochargers

As airflow and boost increase, intercooler efficiency becomes increasingly important.

Improves Charge-Air Cooling Efficiency

Lower intake temperatures help:

• Increase air density
• Improve combustion efficiency
• Support stable boost pressure
• Reduce timing retard

These benefits often result in more consistent real-world performance.

Full aviation-aluminum craftsmanship, 100% welded by TIG. Carefully crafted to exceptional OE standards for a precise fit, Aircraft 5057 grade aluminium and with raw aluminium finish.

Great for Daily Drivers

Even stock EcoBoost trucks can benefit from:

• Better summer performance
• Improved reliability
• Reduced thermal stress
• More consistent throttle response

Installation Considerations

Before installation:

• Verify intercooler dimensions
• Inspect charge pipes
• Check intercooler boots
• Replace worn clamps if necessary

Professional installation may be beneficial for some owners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit all 2011-2014 F-150 models?

No. It is designed specifically for the 3.5L EcoBoost turbocharged engine.

Is this better than the factory intercooler?

The larger aluminum design typically offers improved cooling capacity compared to the stock unit.

Will it help towing?

Yes. Lower intake temperatures can improve consistency and reduce thermal stress during towing.

Do I need a tune?

No. The intercooler can be installed on a stock truck, although tuned vehicles often benefit the most.

Final Thoughts

The Upgrade Aluminum Turbo Intercooler for the 2011-2014 Ford F-150 EcoBoost is a worthwhile cooling upgrade for owners looking to reduce heat soak and improve charge-air efficiency. With aircraft-grade aluminum construction, full TIG welding, and a large cooling surface area, it provides the durability and cooling capacity needed for towing, daily driving, and performance applications.

Because when your EcoBoost is working hard, cooler intake temperatures are worth a lot more than another sticker claiming 15 horsepower.
