The Airtec Gobstopper Intercooler for the Ford Focus RS MK3 It increases performance by lowering the intake air temperature compared to the original intercooler. This is particularly important for braked vehicles and makes this upgrade a must for every RS with increased power.
The solution within the limited space behind the bumper is based on a high-flow single-pass core which is wider, taller, and deeper than the original. This results in a significantly larger frontal area and a much larger volume: 19.7 liters compared to 9.8 liters of the original Ford intercooler, ensuring optimal utilization of the available airflow.
The 100 mm bar-and-plate core is proven on the track 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 at an ambient temperature of 16 degrees, air entered the intercooler at 155 to 160 degrees and exited at 18 to 19 degrees. Despite the larger size, the kit fits neatly behind the original bumper, no sawing or cutting is required, and the entire unit can be easily returned to standard. The comprehensive mounting kit includes all the correct mounting materials and an installation manual.
The finish is Pro-Series Satin Black, optionally provided with an Airtec logo free of charge. The following applies to the intercooler 3-year warranty without mileage limit.
