hey guys, I recently got lucky enough to get my hands on CVFab's new intercooler for the Ecoboost mustang and I'm beyond happy with it! let's start this short and sweet, beautiful TIG welds, full aluminum tanks, double stock size, more than 40 degree drop in AIT (my own data logs, not some trumped up number in perfect settings!) Not to mention this company is actually in the US, which means fantastic customer service and install support. Oh and lets not forget about half the price of the "big names"!
Now to the more technical. Shipping was a breeze, package showed up two days after I placed the order. Everything was there, including two mounting brackets and all hardware needed. Install wasn't too difficult at all. Removing the front bumper was the only tricky part. Once the bumper is off, remove the grill shutters and the intercooler is fully exposed. Once the piping is disconnected there's a few more bolts and the cooler just wiggles out. Now comes the fun part, you'd think being twice the size it'd be difficult to install. CVFab has beautifully found a way around this with the install brackets. Simply put the intercooler in place, connect the pipes, then finally place the brackets provided into the OEM slots, three bolts to the intercooler and you're DONE! all in all it took me about three hours on a lift with minimal tools. Like I said before this thing drops IAT massively, I swear I can feel the added power as soon as I hit WOT. As far as spool up time goes, I haven't noticed any difference from the larger intercooler. Also I do feel like I can here the turbo more, which is always nice. All in all I'm glad I decided to give CVFab a shot, the customer service I received was amazing and the intercooler was excellent quality . I'll be recommending their products for a long time to anyone and everyone with a mustang!
