Installed my new Mishimoto intercooler today. Wasnt as bad as I thought, but definitely different from their video.
If I were doing it all over again- I would disconnect the cold-side elbow from the rubber boot. Couldnt push the cold side pipe back far enough to get the new, larger intercooler fed up into the slots. I did the install at my motel, on the ground lying under the truck. Also, on my 2019 the BOV harness has 2 plugs that hold the harness to the OEM intercooler and BOV. Nothing better than dropping the OEM one out and have it hanging up on a harness. Luckily, I was able to go in from the front of the truck with a long screwdriver and pry the retainers out. Also, HUGE weight difference between Mishimoto and OEM. Might consider having a helper. I didnt pay attentiion to how the bottom bracket that bolts to the frame was installed, and had it upside down when I finally got the Mishimoto unit up in place. Had to hold it one handed, and flip the plate around under the truck. But, it's installed and I am happy. Now just waiting on 5 Star Tuning and some time off to install my SPD pipes and Corsa cat-back.
Thanks. It's nice to have. Works fine. No issues. Only problem with that Phoenix unit is the bottom tabs dont snap in. I might put spacers on the piece it snaps into. Doesnt affect function any.
Installed SPD turbo adapters, SPD 3" Raptor downpipes, Corsa Resonator delete/X-pipe, and Corsa Raptor cat-back dual exhaust, with an F150 Limited bumper, and Raptor rear wiring harness.
Putting in some nice quality parts, how does it sound? Looks awesome by the way!
Right now it sounds terrible. I forgot I needed wide band clamps for the X-pipe. The Corsa X pipe re-uses stock OEM Raptor clamps I didn't have. I tried a bandaid/duct tape fix and it's not working. Amazon says I will have my clamps tomorrow, so hopefully by Tuesday night it will sound as good as it looks.
The 5 Star 91 Performance tune is awesome as well. Want to get the exhaust working properly before I datalog and get it dialed in.
I'm running the 5 Star 91 Performance tune as well and must agree. I'm debating adding an exhaust, I just haven't heard one I like just yet. Some sound clips of yours once complete would be great.
