Provides Room for Winches and Light Bars while Improving Power Output and Performance

The stock intercooler on your 2017-2020 F150 or 2017-2020 Raptor does just enough to keep your aggressive 3.5L EcoBoost V6 churning stock levels of horsepower and torque, but its position in the lower grille opening makes mounting winches or light bars a pain and it's not exactly the most efficient thing in the world when it comes to airflow and performance. The Full-Race Freak-o-Boost Intercooler Kit aims to fix both problems by relocating the entire intercooler higher in the grille and by replacing it with a highly efficient bar-plate aluminum intercooler that outflows and out-cools the factory intercooler by a wide margin. The higher mounting of the Full-Race Freak-o-Boost intercooler allows you to use winches or LED light bars in your 2017 F150's lower bumper without impeding airflow to the intercooler, allowing you to put together a capable off-road rig. The intercoolers bar-plate aluminum design coupled with its much more efficient core greatly improves airflow and cooling ability over stock, reducing the temperatures of inbound charge air while increasing volume which can get your truck noticeable gains in performance, especially when custom tuned.

High-Mount Design with Greatly Improved Airflow and Cooling

The stock intercooler is your pretty run-of-the-mill factory intercooler system with a tube-fin core with plastic endtanks that definitely isn't the most efficient design in the world. Full-Race's Intercooler features a highly-efficient bar-plate design that's combined with cast aluminum end tanks which greatly improves the cooling ability of their intercooler over stock. The endtanks are expertly TIG-welded to the core and pressure tested up to 50 psi for leaks to ensure flawless operation. The end tanks have built-in 3" diameter flanges for the inlet and outlet tubes, which are also included in the package. The core of each intercooler kit features a large, single-pass design that allows for much more efficient airflow over stock and can handle aggressive tuning, bolt-ons, and/or turbocharger upgrades so that you can turn your F150 into a brutal performance machine in practically no time. The intercooler has built-in mounts that combine with Full-Race's other included mounting hardware to move the intercooler up high into your truck's upper grille.

Options for Stock eBOV and Aftermarket BOV Systems

The Full-Race Freak-o-Boost Intercooler Kit comes with a bunch of options that allow you to build the kit to perfectly match your F150's application or other modifications. The intercooler can come in either a natural aluminum finish or a black anodized finish at additional cost (anodizing adds roughly a full week onto the build time). The intercooler's charge tubing comes with several flange options to accept both the stock and popular aftermarket blow-off valve options for the 2017-2020 F150s. The cold side flange can be optioned to accept the factory eBOV, Turbosmart Supersonic BOV Kit, or TiAL BOV. The intercooler's cold side tubing can also be fitted with water-methanol injection bungs that makes setting up a water-methanol that much easier. Whatever your options, each Full-Race Intercooler kit will come with a full set of installation hardware.

Grille Shutter removal required: this intercooler kit requires the removal of your truck's factory grille shutters for proper installation onto your truck.

TiAL BOV Note: when ordering this intercooler system with a TiAL BOV, Full-Race will include one of their 3.5L EcoBoost throttle body spacers to provide an easy place to procure boost reference. The throttle body spacer is not required for Turbosmart Supersonic BOVs, though it can make install of those units a bit easier.

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.

how does this unit compare to the wagner and whipple ones?

Asked by: Frank - 9/27/2018

We've never done an intercooler head-to-head, so we don't have any specific numbers. To be honest, it's kind of an apples to oranges comparison, since the three are all designed for different purposes. The Full-Race intercooler was designed to provide clearances for winches, though the fact that it does expose more of its cooling surface to in-bound air does make it extremely effective at cooling charge air. The Wagner intercooler is primarily designed for towing, and its tube-fin design allows air to still reach your radiator to not interfere with coolant or transmission cooling, though at the price of not being quite as effective at cooling charge air. Whipple's intercooler is a more standard drop-in replacement performance intercooler that improves charge air cooling while still using the stock tubing and mounting points. Really, your choice is going to depend on what you're doing with your truck and what future modifications you have in mind.

I live in Puerto Rico by any chances do you have any person that could install this kit in PR? Is this kit easy to install? How will impact in horse power and MPG?

Asked by: Emilio - 9/5/2018

While more complicated than a more traditional replacement intercooler, the Full-Race Kit isn't overly difficult to install, and any shop that has an ASE-certified tech should be able to perform the installation without issues. In general, you'll see a bit of gain in power, especially higher in the rev range. MPG will vary, but as long as you drive your truck conservatively, you should see a slight gain in fuel economy.

What is your experience with dealers accepting this modification or not in respect to the factory warranty?

Asked by: Michael - 10/29/2018

In theory, this is a bolt-on intercooler kit, and should not have an effect on your warranty. However, all warranty decisions are made by individual dealerships, and your best bet would be to talk to your service adviser about it.
