Does this allow for users to add a hidden winch to the 2.7, something not possible with the OEM?

This actually looks easy

Love to see the dyno results with a tune and charge pipes. Anyway to remove the shutters though?

Can someone help me understand the appeal to an intercooler swap like this? I'm picking up 6HP and 5TQ for $800. Doesn't seem like the best ROI. I can get far more than that by running 93 vs 89 octane.

The benefits of an intercooler go far beyond HP and TQ gains. Heat soak can dramatically affect the performance of a vehicle. We laid out benefits in the first part of our video.

I dont care about HP gain.
I do care about added reliability, and longevity of the turbo.

Any projections on how this unit can effect reliability overall?

Yeah there’s no benefit, just remove your louvers from the bumper CAC temps will stay under 100 degrees. Intercooler upgrades are only needed for high boost high load situations like running flat out all the time which you won’t see on the trails. The hot and cold pipes are also a waste of money, the metallic tubing heat soaks more than the plastic tubing hints why manufacturers use plastic. Even on mishimoto’s data they share on their website shows increased intake temperatures and only a 15 degree drop over oem is nothing. As heavily as the these motors are monitored with sensors you’ll just have more issues with them until you can find someone to tune it and right now no one in the U.S. is doing it due to C.A.R.B. /EPA cracking down. There’s a shop in Canada that’s tuning them so if you’re up for a road trip go for it. The best bang for your buck is the Ford performance tune.

No gain in reliability, yes it’s all aluminum but now you sacrifice silicone connections cracking overtime where as oem utilizes hard connections. Now if they utilized V-band connections then that’s a company that builds for durability and reliability not mass production.

Ya, I have stickers that make that much horsepower.

Like many of these marginal overmarket items, they are a boon to the Sellers livlihood.

OEM might not always produce the absolute best item but they get it 95% right in most cases. Oh, BTW, the Engineers at the major manufacturers have millions upon millions of dollars in their R&D budgets.

If you are referring to the Rough Country Hidden winch, it should work for the OEM 2.7 setup. Not certain with this intercooler.

NOTES - IMPORTANT

• Fits 2.7L/V6 models and 2.3L/4CYL.
• ONLY fits models with frame-mounted tow rings.
• Does NOT fit models equipped with a capable bumper.
• Fits factory modular and plastic bumper types and/or Rough Country's front bumper line.
• Requires modification of factory oil cooler coolant lines and relocation of oil cooler components for V6 models.
• Requires relocation of solenoid box for V6 models with included bracket.
• Highly recommended to run with Rough Country 9500S and 12000S with synthetic rope and Hawse fairlead.
• Not guaranteed to work with other winch manufacturers.

I mean better reliability of the turbo as a result of running cooler...
Not better reliability of the intercooler itself

It's not going to affect the temperature of the turbo(s)

Does this work with heavy duty bumper?

Stack dry ice on top of the stock intercooler
And you’re good
