It's time to cool off your hot-hatch with the Performance Intercooler Kit from Mishimoto for the Ford Focus ST 2013+.
Ford released their 2.0T EcoBoost-powered Focus boasting the perfect combination of performance and practicality; however, the intercooling system left something to be desired.
While the piping did feature sections of aluminum, the restrictive diameter and turbo muffler put a damper on the performance potential of the Focus ST.
We've replaced the hot-side pipe with mandrel-bent aluminum, both ditching the muffler and opening up the diameter to allow a 26% better flow through the hot-side.
All of the degradation-prone rubber has also been swapped for wire-reinforced silicone, ensuring a long-lasting connection on the hot-side and a smoother flow through the cold-side pipe.
Together, the Intercooler Pipe Kit for the Focus ST grants a 21% increase in flow to and from the intercooler.
The piping isn't the only part of this kit that increases flow.
The bar-and-plate construction opens air channels within the core, allowing for the charged air to pass through more freely than the stock intercooler core.
This upgraded all-aluminum construction aids in heat dissipation, warding off the dreaded heat-soak under demanding driving conditions and delivering properly cooled air through the intake manifold of the ST.
The Performance Intercooler Kit for the Focus ST will also add 8 HP and 10 TQ to your power band and has a maximum horsepower rating of 550HP.
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit for your 2013+ is available in silver, black, or gold, with an option of wrinkle black or polished piping.
As always, this intercooler kit is covered under the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
