I've got the Whipple IC + Cobb Stage 2 setup and it is working great so far.

I have been running the 93oct Stage 2 Cobb tune with the OEM+ TCM tuning for a few weeks and it has been a great experience so far. I like it better than the the MPT PR-X 93 tune I had been running for the prior 6,000+ miles. Haven't tried the Cobb Sport TCM tune yet.

FWIW ... I know the JLT doesn't catch 100%, however I installed one at ~500mi and then a Whipple IC at ~9000mi and I didn't notice any oil in my intercooler. Glad I have it and it is only a 10-15 minute job to swap it back to factory for warranty concerns.

Not sure if it is possible with your platform but it would be nice if you could enable/disable it easily using your programmer. If not, I would prefer keeping skip-shift but adjust the threshold so that it only operates is very light throttle applications, such as would be encountered in city...

I looked into the CP-E intercooler a few weeks ago. They advertise a 'bolt-in design', however the instructions they sent me are missing details about removing the stock shutters, etc. When I asked about that part they told me that their truck already had all that removed & that's why it's not...

Nice to know they have a good rep in the Focus world. They responded quickly to my request for installation instructions. Given the depth of the cooler is 7" (2.5" thicker than Whipple's) I figured the lower shutters would have to go, which they confirmed to me vie email. Their install...

I've been following this thread closely and came across the following intercooler in my research: https://cp-e.com/shop/product/cp-e-∆core-ford-f-150-raptor-fmic-front-mount-intercooler/ Any feedback on this product/company?

Thanks for the info! Very helpful.

I have the JB4 and ran it for several weeks on Map 3 before deciding to move up to a tune. Nice power adder and worthwhile mod if you want to avoid warranty concerns related to a custom tune.

I have experienced that a few times as well with my MPT tune. Quite unsettling. I believe it is what Cobb referred to that as "RPM-flaring between gears" in post #47 in the "COBB Stage 1 First Impressions on 2019" thread. I am keeping an eye on the Cobb TCM tuning project, because I don't...

I am under the impression that the better the intercooling system, the less difference there is between Manifold Charge temp and Intake Air temp.

Mishimoto also has some replacement hot/cold side intercooler pipes that may work on the Whipple also. Would make the install less 'stealth' though.

Hard to say ... i moved the and then the full force of summer hit here in Houston. Right now I see from the mid 120's to low 130's manifold charge temps once the truck gets hot. Inlet air temps have been 100-115.

I've been implementing a similar conservative plan as well. I have the MPT tune in place and have the Swarfworks license place relocation bracket installed. I have been monitoring my air temps while deciding on an intercooler. I am leaning towards a Mishimoto or Whipple. I have been wanting...

It dropped by 0.8-1.0 (hand-calculated ~17.1 stock to ~16.2 tuned). I do drive a little more aggressively than when stock, however. Also I drive some extended time on twisty sub-50 MPH roads and with the tune the transmission will hold a lower gear than stock when cruising.
