That looks like a good quality intercooler at a fair price, thanks for posting. I checked out your website and noticed that you can only add the intercooler to the cart with the Turbosmart BOV which adds $313 to the price. Does your intercooler only work with the aftermarket BOV?
Did they send you a picture of the Wagner intercooler they are selling? It would definitely be a more difficult install if it doesn’t come with the hardware unless you could contact Wagner and see if they would sell you the hardware.
I just cut the aluminum to the right size, marked and drilled some holes and bolted it on. Took me maybe 10 min using an angle grinder and drill. You will need a bolt and nut for the blowoff valve and the M6-1.00 bolts thread right into the intercooler.
I had an opportunity yesterday evening to install the intercooler and I took it. Didnt have the time to learn how to data log and do test runs before and after. Between my 2 year old and both the wife and I working full time I am lucky I got the chance to install it.
My cobb tuner shows about 4...
I used some M6-1.00 bolts for the blowoff valve and they threaded in perfectly.
For the drain plug I used a M12-1.75 drain plug from Auto Zone. The hole was tapered or not threaded fully so I ran an M12-1.75 tap through it. There may be some other specialty bolt/thread pitch that it was made...
Yes. It did not come with any hardware so I had to buy a drain plug, bolts to hold the factory blow off valve and some aluminum to make a bracket. I also ordered some weather striping off amazon for the front of the intercooler like the Mishimoto.
That is very nice! You can definitely see the difference in quality vs the Chinese one. It probably cost a couple bucks more than $270 :D.
When I bought the one off eBay I was not expecting top notch quality for the price. I wanted to see if it cools better than stock and as good as the $1k...
You should just remove the Mishimoto and put the stock back on so you can compare the differeance ;).
I have a COBB tuner and access to an airport runway. I could do high speed runs back to back to try and get them both heat soaked and see how the stock compares to the eBay intercooler.
Anyone...
Here is a comparison picture of the eBay intercooler vs the Mishimoto. The photo of the Mishimoto is the best one I could find with a close up of the core. I tried to get a shot of mine at the same angle to get a good comparison. Mishimoto either uses paint or a powder coating finish on their...
So it arrived, packed decently without any damage I can see of. It looks as though the fins are staggered and a pretty high quality core. This is definitely a factory Mishimoto intercooler, I would say that it is probably factory seconds. They must take ones with cosmetic imperfections, grind...
I have no idea what good fins look like vs quality ones. I’ll take some close up pictures when it arrives today and maybe you can give me your opinion.
Yes they are interchangeable. If you click on the link below it is the Mishimoto intercooler for sale at stage 3 motor sports it says it fits 15-19 F-150/Raptor 2.7 and 3.5

Awesome, is it the same one off eBay? Did you have to make a bracket to attach the blowoff valve or did it end up coming with one? If you made it what did you end up using to make the bracket?
Here is a link to the one I bought, there are a couple others selling them too. UPS has it arriving on Friday and I will make sure to post some pictures. I might try to do a pressure test on it to make sure it is solid...
I found some intercoolers on eBay for cheap, $270. They look to be the same as the Mishimoto intercooler. They are either made in the same factory or they are a knockoff. I went ahead and ordered one mostly out of curiosity, I have not seen anyone else post about them. It is on its way right now...
Just installed the Lomax and I love it. Thanks to @FordRaptorLights.com for giving me a great price and fast shipping. I ordered it Thursday afternoon and it arrived Saturday morning. If anyone is looking for a cover you should check them out. Thanks again FordRaptorLights.com for your awesome...
There is the slightest rubbing on the left side when I turn full lock left going out of my driveway. I have been considering getting some Eibach springs to level it out, sounds like people are pretty happy with them.
Agreed @MZRaptor72. The offset of my factory wheels with the 1.5" spacers are the same as aftermarket 17" wheels such as Method, Icon, Black Rhino, Fuel, etc.... Quality spacers such as Bora Installed Correctly have zero risk of failure. I challenge you to find someone that has had a Bora wheel...
