The Airtec Gobstopper Intercooler for the Ford Focus RS MK3 boosts performance by lowering the Intake air temperature compared to the original Intercooler. This is particularly important for remapped vehicles, making this upgrade a must for any RS with increased power.
The solution, designed to fit within the limited space behind the bumper, is based on a high-flow single-pass core that is wider, taller and deeper than the original. This provides a significantly larger frontal area and a much greater capacity: 19.7 litres compared to 9.8 litres for the original Ford Intercooler, ensuring optimal utilisation of the available airflow.
The 100 mm bar-and-plate core is race-proven and is combined with cast Airtec end tanks for improved airflow and an exceptionally strong construction. The air-ram Air Intake forces the airflow directly into the core.
In tests conducted at an ambient temperature of 16 degrees, the air entered the intercooler at 155 to 160 degrees and exited at 18 to 19 degrees. Despite its larger size, the kit fits neatly behind the original bumper; no sawing or cutting is required, and the whole unit can be returned to standard without any problems. The comprehensive fitting kit contains all the necessary fixing materials and a fitting guide.
The finish is Pro-Series Satin Black, with an Airtec logo applied free of charge on request. the intercooler comes with a 3-year warranty with no mileage limit.
