Can I get a discount since I helped y'all revise the Mishimoto intake system for a 2015 Focus ST? I am practically part of your engineering department if you think about it :LOL:

There was an issue with the first intake that was released that would not allow the PCV hose that attaches to the intake to connect properly and I showed you guys how I modified it to make it work. You guys revised it further and sent me the fix I created but with higher quality parts Lol

Longevity and protection, plus those are stock gains, you’d probably yield better gains with a tune
Those are gains at the wheel also. Converted to the engine and they bump up.

Hey @Lèòn - including the intercooler pipes, the install takes longer than the high-mount kit, alone. This install is more involved than our Stock Location intercooler. That one is in and out in less than an hour.

Heres the dilemma, I daily 98% of the time, but 2-3x’s a season so far I offroad, sometimes wading through water as seen below:
(I drove through where he got stuck)

so for occasional mud, water and dust, which os better?

Hey @Lèòn - great question. When driving through mud and muddy water, you do run the risk of clogging your intercooler fins with mud and debris. Assuming you are driving in mud/muddy water lower than your front grille, the High-Mount will collect less debris. That means your charge air temps could stay lower throughout the rest of your day/weekend on the trail. One easy answer could be lightly hosing your stock location intercooler off after a weekend on muddy trails. In that case, our stock location might be a good option. Don't forget... the High-Mount looks so cool when it's installed!

And it's not like I gotta keep reinstalling parts, it's all one and done.

Like I said, should be set in a week or two

Thanks, we play hard, and I've taken her down Quad trails. Gonna switch spots soon, but here's a short of my friend going from trying her out to donuts


Again, so far lots of Sand, plus the high mount is noticeable vs low mount. Shop next door did headers on my Ram anyway, so don't think this is too much of a stretch

Hey @Bronco.babeflorida - thanks for reaching out. It's unfortunate you have been plagued with CEL codes due to high IATs. Other aftermarket products in front of the stock location intercooler is one of the primary reasons we developed this high-mount. The best way to get in touch with us would be to reach out to our Sponsorship Team - mishimoto.com/sponsor .
