If testing goes well, we should be able to start shipping Mid-March. Not to far from now!

Only worry I have is condensation issues with intercoolers. the F-150 3.5L had a big problem with this and it would cause condensation to build up inside the intercooler then get sucked into the engine.

So I wonder if we will have to worry about any of this with the aftermarket intercoolers? apparently ford has done a better job of it on the later ecoboosts so a little hesitant to switch out the stock IC. For track purposes I would totally use an aftermarket but for a daily driver...

This was a heavily discussed topic with the FoSTs and Fusions too, but no one had issues like the F-150s with either the stock or aftermarket FMICs, so I'd imagine it'd be the same for the EBMs. If you ever plan to produce any power, even with more simple or light mods, you really should get an intercooler. Apart from maybe getting a tune, an upgraded FMIC should be one of the first things you do!

Only been using mine for about 1000 miles, no problems yet though. I don't know what kind of perfect storm caused this problem with the F150's, but I'm not worried at all.

Adam,
Could you clarify what you are comparing?
Your phase 1 parts AND custom tune vs just the cobb ots stage 1 tune vs stock?

It looks like Phase 1 parts with their custom tune vs Phase 1 with the Cobb tune. Then it looks like the Phase 1 with their custom tune vs an all stock car comparison.

I just installed mine this weekend, and live in FL. Nothing yet, I'll keep you posted. I did not notice any condensation or signs.

This is definitely not going to be an issue on the EBM, the factory intercooler is very inefficient and runs very hot (75° average with an ambient temperature of 47°). Soon as you get into boost it immediately heats over 100°. I checked our stock and our aftermarket piping after it has been on the car and there is no condensation "streaks" to be seen.

Exactly right! Phase 1 Parts, and our tune versus Cobb tune, and our tune versus bone stock EBM.
