2011-2014 Ford F150 EcoBoost Full Race Front Mount Gen 2 Intercooler FR-IC-ECO-GEN2

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!

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.

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

Great product, well built and performs great. In 95* heat it maintains IAT2's within 1* of ambient temps!

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.

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.

Definitely the best intercooler on the market. Overall a piece of art. Build/ Shipping takes around a month but is well worth the wait.

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.

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.

Very easy install. Very straight forward. Only issue(thus the 4 star) was a couple clamps were the wrong ones. I simply reused the OEM ones. Beyond that fit and finish was great.

Full-Race makes an awesome product. I am really happy with this Intercooler. My only gripe is their install instructions are not the greatest, but its a pretty straight forward install and if you have any mechanical ability you can get by.

Fit and finish is amazing by far the best intercooler on the market in my opinion
