Higher Mounting Height and Improved Performance over Stock

Very common and pretty cool upgrades for the 2011 to 2014 F150 EcoBoost trucks is mounting a winch, fairlead, or LED light bar in the opening between the two OEM "breadboxes" down in the lower bumper. What's not cool (quite literally) is blocking off airflow to your truck's intercooler, which can cause your 3.5L V6 EcoBoost engine's turbos to function less efficiently, costing you power. Our cross-town neighbors over at Full Race came up with quite the solution with this awesome performance intercooler. The Full Race F150 EcoBoost Gen 2 Intercooler mounts farther up in your truck's upper grille than your stock intercooler, giving you the clearance you need down in your lower bumper for whatever else you have in mind. On top of its new location, the Full Race intercooler provides your EcoBoost F150 with more power thanks to its more efficient design that gives your 3.5L V6 a cooler, denser air charge. The Full Race intercooler kit comes with everything you need for a quick, bolt-on installation in place of stock.

TIG Welded Aluminum Design With a Ton of Options

Each of these powerful EcoBoost intercoolers are made out of high-quality aluminum and are each TIG-welded by hand by the experts over at Full Race to ensure perfect fitment and function. The Gen 2 intercooler comes with high-quality and highly efficient intercooler core design that cools inbound charge air much more effectively than stock and doesn't suffer from the same condensation issues that plague the OEM intercoolers. Full Race throws in all the necessary hardware for the installation of their intercooler system, including the intercooler itself, a complete set of charge piping, a horn relocation bracket, and high-quality couplers and clamps. The intercooler comes with optional fittings for an external BOV for the 2013 and 2014 F150s, which can be customized for the OE BOV or a Tial Q. The Gen 2 intercooler comes standard with a Full-Race Throttle Body Spacer. The intercooler can even be fitted with a port for water/methanol injection systems at additional cost.

2011-2012 F150 EcoBoosts: the optional TiAL Q BOV is not compatible with the 2011 to 2012 F150 EcoBoosts, due to the fact that their BPVs are mounted on the turbocharger assemblies themselves.

2013-2014 F150 BOV Notes: if you're ordering this intercooler with either a TiAL Q, you will also need to order one of Full-Race's Throttle Body Spacers in order to draw boost reference. You can find the Full-Race Throttle Body from our drop-down menu above. If the intercooler is ordered with a TiAL BOV, a complete TiAL BOV kit will be included. If ordered with a Turbosmart Flange, the actual BOV will not be included, and must be purchased separately right here..

Signature Required: this kit requires a signature for delivery. Please ensure someone is available at your specified shipping address to sign for any and all packages.

2013 F-150 FX4

I have been very pleased with the tech support and customer service at both Full Race and Stage3Motorsports. Mechanically, I am not the most savvy, but can usually get the job done by going slowly and laying everything out. Quality: Compared to the stock I/C that comes in the EcoBoost there is no comparison. The build of this intercooler is superior to the stock in both material and design. The clamps are heavy duty, hot/cold pipes are sturdy and fit perfectly, and the mount for this thing is the perfect solution for every truck out there. Customer Service: I have to mention this because I deal with customer service desks on a daily basis and not once have I called Stage3 or Full Race and had a bad experience. They answer the questions to a T and are friendly while doing so... keeping us less than mechanically inclined in mind. Install: The install took me a few hours. My biggest concern was tearing it apart and not knowing where everything went, so before starting I mapped it all out and then did a mock install in the garage so I could see how everything went together. The directions provided are very clear on the components included made the process go much smoother. The only thing I can mention is make sure and put the rubber mounts in before mounting the I/C... kind of a pain to go back and do at the end. The hardest part I came across was the throttle body spacer. My hands are clumsy and had a hard time getting the angle to line up. Right tool for the right job and it would have gone better.

Where to begin? The craftsmanship of the CAC is immaculate. You can tell Full Race TRULY takes pride in their work. The install was pretty straight forward, except the BOV part. I'm new to turbo life so that was troubling, mainly because I second guessed myself on my install... FR really needs to have an amendment to their install guid for the BOV. Not sure where people are saying the parts don't fit, everything fit perfectly! A little soap and water and those babies will come together. It's supposed to be tight! The main bracket was a hair too narrow but I made it work and she is quite solid. Overall- amazing product. I can't see why you would choose any other CAC, especially since you get a solid product and for a reasonable price; Not to mention you also upgrade the charge pipe and save $300 from the Afe option. No brainier in my book.

This is money! Reduced my cruising temps going to work (70 MPH, cruise on) by 20 degrees and now runs 1-5 degrees within ambient temps. This also allowed me to place a winch in the stock CAC spot. I opted for the TiAL BOV which I believe did nothing for performance but does an excellent job at turning heads with it's choo-choo noises. Install took an hour because I took some time to clean everything up and I had to pull the throttle body for the spacer (only required with the TiAL). I then took it for a test drive and floored it. I heard a bang and got a check engine light. So, make sure you tighten everything down properly or you might blow off a coupler. lol So far I have been running this for a year and how seen no issues. The TiAL BOV also does a great job of blowing out moisture and oil to keep everything clean. So if you have the shuttering issue, this might be the upgrade for you!

Fantastic buy, I am very happy with fullrace the build of this intercooler is awesome, it really did bolt up in a hour or so, actually enjoyed installing it . My turbo smart bov was all crammed behind my charge pipe on my stock intercooler couldn't even adjust it very well before , the fitting for the bov is in the perfect place . I was looking at all the other intercoolers first and ignoring the fullrace because of price But Lou convinced me the others were nothing like this one, he was not lying my truck runs fantastic,any shudder that I had before has gone . I paired it with a 160% thermostat, and a UPR duel valve catch can , My second wife is very happy now and breathing well... Check it out for yourself @englishlad808

This intercooler took only 30 minutes to install on the ground. The BOV sounds awesome and it's awesome with the power, I don't have a different tune that includes the intercooler but its a must have on the truck and it looks awesome sitting behind the grill. Just ensure that the cap is with the kit for the hot side (driver side) turbo pipe since your removing the factory BOV and intercooler.

2012 F150 Platinum Ecoboost

I bought this intercooler so I could put a winch on my truck since the stock intercooler blocked where it would go. The packaging for the parts was very well done, although I think the box full of packing peanuts was slightly over the top considering the amount of bubble wrap around each piece but all the parts were very well made. They were quite a tight fit, especially with a hidden winch mount and the winch in place. The only issue I had was the engage/disengage lever on the winch itself. With the intercooler in, you had no access to it. I ended up cutting off the handle and welding T-Handle onto it which gave me space to fit in my truck and it seems to be working well so far. I went from 17.1 mpg to 15.5 mpg after the exhange. It could be do to the added weight in the front or the computer hasn't adjust to the new intercooler yet. More driving will be needed to see if that persists. I also had to mount the horn off to the side rather than using the mounting bracket that comes with this kit. It made it sound line a choking chicken. Everything is a tight fit as well and when I say tight fit, I mean tight fit. I had one if my hoses come off the first week I drove it but I changed the clamps and haven't had an issue since. Other than those few issues it did exactly what I wanted it to and I now have a working hidden winch on my 2012 Ecoboost.

The packaging of the product was phenomenal bubble wrap and lots of packing peanuts. The initial quality of the parts were great but upon installation some parts were not up to part. The horn relocation bracket did not fit, I had to drill the hole big to get it to work. The pipe that connects to the throttle body had the hose connection on the wrong side so I had to have a buddy make a new hose to fit. I waited 6 weeks for this product and was really excited to get it. I'm not sure I would buy something else from full race, when you pay that kind of money I would expect things to fit perfectly. I still think it's a good product but some direction would be nice.

14' F150 FX4 Eco

Multiple minor issues, missing parts, and inconveniences. First off, the intercooler looks nothing like the fully welded aluminum intercooler that is advertised amongst Stage 3 and Full Race's website. It is in-fact a dull cast aluminum intercooler that has random tabs welded on that serve no purpose to older F150s. I assume they are re purposing the intercoolers from the newer F150/Raptors with adaptive cruise control. This is minor but very frustrating as when I spend $1,500.00 on something I would simply like it to look like the thing I thought I was buying. Second, my hard-line vent tube on the cold side pipe wasn't remotely close to fitting so I had to borrow a car to go purchase a flexible hose to run it to the pipe. Again minor, but an issue that should not occur with this kit. Third, I had to wallow out the holes on the intercooler lower mounting bracket in order to bolt it to the frame. Fourth I was provided no brass plug to plug the bung on the side of the intercooler, so as of now I have a carburetor stud sticking out of it to keep it plugged. I have gone to a handful of stores to try and locate said brass plug, but nothing I have found fits. Fifth, the kit didn't come with with the 2.5 couplers for the hotside piping. I had to cut down my stock rubber couplers to be able to drive the truck home, and have since ordered better silicone couplers off of Amazon. I can't say i expected to be ordering additional parts to simply finish the install of this top dollar kit... The instructions (that you have to find on their website) are vague, and leave out key details that i had to stumble through to figure out. For $1,500.00-$1,600.00 dollars, they need to make a youtube tutorial at the very least. On the positive side, the Tial blow off valve sounds good... I can't speak on performance as I've only had it installed for a couple days. From my experience with this kit, i would say lower your expectations on what $1,500.00 buys you or else you will be disappointed.

2012 f150 Ecoboost

Where to start.. I have a 7in lift and have off-road bumpers and the front have a huge skidplate and was blocking the stock intercooler, plus I have intake and exhaust and a tune so definitely needed a grill intercooler. It gave my truck a lot more air to breathe and definitely feels faster now that the intercooler isn't being blocked. I'm a little disappointed that I had to wait almost 6 weeks to receive this. Everything came in a huge box full of packing peanuts which was a huge mess and annoying and there were lots of little parts scattered and hard to find. No instructions and hard to find on the website, and I had some missing parts. The o rings weren't wide enough on the y tube and the pipe from the top on the motor was not long enough and just didn't look like the pics. It was a pain in the butt to install this. Im a mechanic and do these upgrades a lot. Everything just felt a little off and not straight. I'm happy with this but also a little not happy with it.

Ok why is there not a Dyno of a real stock ecoboost truck instead of on a modded truck,you have stock listing 516 and 341 @the wheels that not stock,How are we meant to see what the real difference it,plus this kit is not really about the intercooler,as the hot,and cold side pipes are swaped out...if you look at the AFE pipes they pick up more alone than Full races set with a intercooler ????what is up with that ????? For all we know this could of been the difference between a truck with a AFE kit installed ,or whatever..You need to do a fair copmparsion between products,as this is hard earn money your asking use to spend

Asked by: mark - 9/12/2014

Well, for one, that's not our dyno, that's one that Full-Race did themselves. Secondly, there's two reasons to install this intercooler (or any aftermarket intercooler) and that's to get more power out of a custom tune or to reposition the intercooler up higher so that you can mount a winch or light bar in your lower bumper. Quite frankly, an aftermarket intercooler is not going to help much on a bone stock truck, other than give it some peak power, a reduction in losses from heat soak, while reducing the chances of water ingestion. Tuned trucks are the ones that really see a large benefit from an intercooler, which is why Full-Race chose to dyno a modded truck.

Does this kit come with a FULL set of aluminum charge pipes? I thought each turbo has a BOV so if I get the TiAL Q BOV what happens to the stock set? Thanks

Does the trial blow off valve fit on my 2011 ecoboost truck?

I was looking at upgrading my intercooler in my 2013 F150 EB and I am currently down to this one and the Wagner EVO. I really like the mounting options of the FR but does placement of this intercooler, but do these front, top mounted intercoolers restrict airflow to the radiator?

I have a 2014 F150 ecoboost, and I have two questions. First, What would be the benefit of getting a TiAL Q BOV over the electronic OEM BOV? Second, I assume that if I pick that option (OEM electronic BOV) I do not have to get the Throttle body spacer, is that right? Thank you, Anthony

Will this work with the 73mm Throttle Body? What will that setup do to gas mileage?

Will this fit my 2014 fx4 with with MaxTow package? Wondering about the trans. cooler?

Does this void factory warranty ? And does product make it possible to put on a blow off valve. Iv been reading where 2013 models cannot have a bov

Will the full race intercooler with the phase 2 kit eliminate the dreaded ecoboost shudder, caused from the condensation?

Can the ports for the Meth Bungs be plugged/sealed for future Meth kit addition?

Just curious, by having the TiAL BOV installed, would this eliminate the need of a catch can? Or would it be a good idea to have both?

I was about to purchase this item but noticed something. Will this fit with the dual catch can system that mounts in the front near the horn?

So is this the replacement for turbo smart? Is this EBOV for 2013 f-150 3.5 ecoboost?

So I know with the the early year Ecoboosts they were having issues with the intercooler. From what I understand they were too efficient and created moisture. I am thinking this intercooler is alot more efficient then stock are there issues with moisture in the FR intercoolers?

Can you run the tial bov if I use block off plates on my compressor mount bovs 2011 f150?

Would this product reduce or eliminate the condensation that builds up in the stock set up? That causes the engine to shudder under heavier acceleration

Do you have to modify the hot side pipes in any way? Like cut them to make them shorter?

Do you know what PSI the spring inside of the Tial Q is rated for. I have heard the 8 psi is too soft for the Ecoboost, and the 10 psi is too stiff. What do you suggest?

What will happen if I go through water that is higher then the bov? What would the repercussions be?

Hey will this kit work with the Nfab bumper part # N/FF09URDS-TX?

Seeing that they have a flange for the turbosmart BOV, this shouldn't be a fitment issue with my 2013 EcoBoost? Also is there a recommended catch can to install with this to help with condensation issues?

I have a UPR oil catch can on the front passenger side of my truck and i was wondering if the catch can and the intercooler will both fit if the front?

Does this have a CARB number? I ask because this is the only setup that does not mention if it is CARB exempt or not. Thank you!

I have a upr 4 inch mega catch can mounted in the front of my truck and I was wondering if this new model be able to fit the catch can and the inter cooler in front?

I have a 2011 Ford F150 Ecoboost that is running the stock intercooler. I am currently in the market for an after market bumper with a winch mount. Would installing this intercooler allow me to run a bumper with a winch? The bumper is the ICI Magnum RT Series Front Winch Bumper.

With the radiator being mildly restricted is there room to install a flat mount fan to keep coolant temps down when under higher strain?

I have a full race catch-can, which gives me the option of having a boost reference off of the manifold. With this being the case do I need to have the throttle body spacer for boost reference?

I have the UPR Oil Catch can mounted; given this is a higher mounted intercooler, will there be any fitment issues?

I have a 2014 EcoBoost and I ordered this with the tial bov. I saw something about block off plates for going from a stock bov to a tial bov. Do I need these? If so, is this why it makes a whistle sound than the blow off?

If option is selected for a methanol bung, where exactly will it be located? Hopefully in the charge pipe nearest the intercooler. And would it be threaded in 1/8NPT?
