Hello. Yes, it is the standard Delta Core:

I have everything in shrink wrap, did not open it. (traded the car in so didn't need to).

Is this considered a "street" version that would fit the factory mount points? And what do you think installation costs would be? Thanks in advance.

Installation would probably cost 1.5-2.5 hours of labor, guessing somewhere between $150-300 depends on where you take it. I would plan $200 just in case.

Thanks for the info - great price for it but I need to weigh the cost to the benefits of having it. If I can ask you what lead you to purchase it? Thanks again.

No problem. I got it because I bought an OBD II reader and noticed that the charge air temps were too high and the inconsistencies during hot summer days vs cold winter/fall as far as performance goes. I never got to get it installed because I traded my car in.

Thank you for that info. I need to see what adding this intercooler might do to the Ford Performance Tune I had installed on my 2018 Ecoboost as I've read a tune is necessary after the installation of an intercooler. Thanks for your time - will see if there is some way to pursue this.

No problem. Actually, no. The intercoolers do not need a tune. It is simply a better cooling solution, resulting in much much lower charge temps thus resulting in consistent power. Even with the stock tune, I was experiencing a major difference in performance between cold days vs warm days, and I observed this myself using an OBD II adapter. Not sure how it is on the 2018 models, but 2015-2017's are equipped with horrendous stock intercoolers.

Where did you have the intercooler installed? My vehicle has the Active Cruise and taking off of the front clip may be a little more complicated than other Mustangs. Thanks for letting me know about the tune not being necessary.

Give Craftsman Auto (several locations but up here along Alexandria) do this kind of work. If you can afford the trip, come to Sterling VA and visit Performance by Jax. He just did my EB with intercooler (and extra oil cooler) install 3 days ago and VERY familiar with Mustangs.

Thank you - I will look into that and get back to you.

Curious if this is available still?

Hi Darf - yes, still available.

 

[Darf]

Are you willing to ship? I can arrange a pick up, but It would probably be few weeks before I could make it down.

 

[kart3l]

Yes. $250 + shipping.
