I noticed that my Eboost has a flap over the top 1-2" of the intercooler blocking some of its flow? Whats up with that? Wouldnt it make sense to remove that to increase the efficiency?

The stock cooler is very efficient

Ya search for ecoboost intercooler and see what you come up with. A bunch of crap threads with people having issues.

Hence i started my own. The search function does not exactly work as good as you think. Especially if you dont know what to ask it. Thats why we have forums. To help each other out. Not to only talk about new threads....

Ask the dealer. Perhaps some adjustments made to intercooler airflow in certain areas with high humidity or extreme cold. Worst thing you can do is tear it off. Let us know if dealership has a clue.

Im not going to take it to a dealership. That is the last thing i will ever do.

It's the first "fix" for the condensation issue. When is the build date for your truck?

The flap I believe you are referring to is the one they started adding to trucks built around May(?) of 2012. Then they began adding it to trucks brought in for condensation issues. Ford thought by reducing airflow thru that section of the CAC that it would reduce the condensation buildup and fix the problems associated with it. It didn't fix it but may have helped slightly. As far as I know they are still putting it on the '13's. They put one on mine about a month ago, along with a new CAC, in accordance with TSB 12-10-19.

Removing it will probably not give you a noticeable gain.

Or search. Read about the problems, the fixes, what the cover is for, what it's called, how it works, what it does, become educated about everything that's involved with it, and then if you still have questions you can ask it and be more knowledgable about the subject which could lead to a good technical discussion. Instead of being lazy. I spend more time reading through old threads and learning and understanding than I do asking because 9 times out of 10, the question has been posed and answered and a solution found. And the search works just fine. It worked for you when it led you to those "crap threads." Those crap threads contain all the reasoning and logic this website can come up with on the cover, the cooler, and the fix.

Is there a problem with the IC on EB's?

May some time. Towards the end i think. That would explain it i suppose.
