While it seemed to drag on at some points, this is one of the most informative and accurate walkthroughs I’ve seen. Nice.

[@realhimkardashian]

just installed my new intercooler with the charge pipes ! everything fit great🙏🏽

[@salvadormunoz8922]

How did it perform after installing?

[@realhimkardashian]

wonderful !!! @@salvadormunoz8922

[@SETSO-4L]

Would’ve liked to seen the finished result and putting everything back with the new FMIC....

[@mishimoto]

Hey Brandon, follow the link to our website. You will find dyno charts with more information under our engineering report :)

[@mom-butts]

should've shown after shots. also will you guys be offering aftermarket charge pipes. either way the gold will look dirt nasty on tangerine scream.

[@mishimoto]

Hey Nick D. Does not appear that charge pipes are something we have in the works as of now. Keep an eye on our engineering blog for all the latest updates :) www.mishimoto.com/engineering/?s=Focus+ST

[@cold_jay]

Is it true that there are minor differences between the US spec and the EU spec Focus ST in the sensors and fitment?

[@mishimoto]

The Euro models use a MAP sensor instead of MAF for tuning.

[@chriss0192]

I got mine and it’s missing the bolts required to plug the sensor what size bolt can I use?

[@mishimoto]

Shoot us an email at [e-mail] and we will be happy to help!

[@mariofordrst4357]

hi there, a question if you remove the active grill shutter will the cooling fan run continuously at the highest level? Is that true or is there a way that it doesn't always work?
Interesting Video, Nice Job👍👍👍👍👍

[@mishimoto]

Unfortunately, this is not something we have tested. Sorry!

[@mariofordrst4357]

@@mishimoto thanks for the answer 👍👍👍

[@kingvibezzzgaming9154]

I removed the shroud:shudders, and it doesn’t effect it, seems to run a lot better!😊

[@danceTROYdance]

Would the m line fit the st without modification?

[@mishimoto]

Hello danceTROYdance. Love the username!
We've gathered feedback from customers that the M line is a great fit for the ST, but not necessarily a direct fit no mods required process.
At this time, we are only able to confirm that our direct fit system for the ST requires no modifications. MMINT-FOST-13

[@joshwatters4258]

Is this bar and plate or tube and fin construction?

[@mishimoto]

Hello Josh. This particular unit utilizes
Bar-and-Plate construction.

[@jackleadbetter2987]

Wish you guys installed this with the stock radiator so we could see a little better

[@michaelhicks9294]

I read up that some people had issues installing these on their Focus ST... I have a 2018 ST, am I going to run into some issues to where I need to modify this to work? Just wondering before I order as the car is used as a daily and I only get one day off so I would have to knock this out in a day. Thanks

[@mishimoto]

We've quite literally never had an issue with the intercooler fitment brought up to our support team so this is surprising to hear. Our usual question on these is which port to mount the MAF sensor. You shouldn't run into any problems installing yours! Feel free to give our team a call if you have any issues 302-762-4501

[@rood6422]

Could i install this in a Ford Focus SE as well, or is this strictly for ST?

[@mishimoto]

ST only

[@josuecastro3945]

Does this improve the performance of the car? If that’s the case, what are the gains you get ?

[@mishimoto]

•Max power gains of 5 hp and 7 ft/lbs torque
•Drops intercooler outlet temperatures by 34°F
•Increases core size by 128% and fin surface area by 32%

[@johnmic0]

Can you run these with a stock tune on a 2016 focus ST?

[@mishimoto]

You can run this with a stock tune but wont see any major power upgrades until you tune the car.

[@SpiderBoyJohn]

Dyno results...

[@herpderp4097]

James Shuster upgrading an intercooler in the ST is not so much about making more peakpower, it's about overcoming heat soak and allowing the power to be more repeatable. Also on the same tune it shouldn't make a big difference but it will allow you to push the previous tune harder.
