Intercooler - who does this type of installation?

[Retired in TN]

Ok, ok, I know many of you would install it yourself. For the rest of us, what kind of shop installs Intercooler? I am near Knoxville and striking out. Any hints are appreciated, thank you.

I would go to an auto parts store and ask who does work on race cars/high performance vehicles and go from there, word of mouth usually works. Maybe somebody on here will show you how to do it, lol. Hope somebody helps you, also try to see who the dealers are in your area for the intercooler, they might know.

I’m confused…are you looking to install a replacement intercooler (charge air cooler) or an additional oil cooler? The engine is equipped with an oil cooler from the factory.

Check your area and see what performance shops there are to install your new intercooler. It’s not a nasty job, but you need to make sure you have the right parts for the right intercooler you bought. Good luck to you - this is a good ecoboost modification.

He's paying someone to do it. Let them worry about it...

It’s a forum. He asked a question. If he’s letting them worry about it then he wouldn’t have posted in the first place.

The obvious question that hasn't been asked - which intercooler? OEM replacement or an FMIC? An FMIC is more involved but it REALLY isn't hard. There are tons of videos you can watch, if you take your time you could knock it out in an afternoon or 2. No real special tools are needed (assuming you have the basics) but plastic trim tools will be your friend. If you are doing an FMIC once you get the OEM unit out with the skid plate off, you will be AMAZED at how much room there is under there.
