I saw on the Ecoboost Facebook page that they have a group buy for the new cooler. Is that the one you're getting or different suppliers? Looks like a quality product.

It's not a group buy. Gearhead is finally shipping their upgraded IC this week. I know myself, Jordan, and BPD1151 placed orders.

Hopefully will have time next week for install.

I would think you'd have to get a hold of Gearhead and go from there.

I know they're on the Facebook group for sure.

Oh my...... I was woken to the dogs barking, the door bell ringing just now.

Upon heading to the front door, low and behold, Santa arrived with a late package for me.

A brand spanking new and improved IC from GH!

Beastly she is. Packaged so well that I'm afraid to remove her entirely from its packaging.

I've amassed quite the collection of aftermarket performance parts these last 6mo.'s or so......

Looks like I'll be pestering my mechanic pal for some lift time the Spring.

Exciting somehow downplays my enthusiasm at this newest offering for our platform!

Thanks to Matt and his entire crew over at Gearhead for continuing down that mod path and remaining committed to this product development for over 2yrs now!

Nice to see this having come to fruition!

Bravo fellas, bravo!

So beautiful . Never thought I would see this moment. A special intercooler developed for our beloved sho platform. The one major performance hindrance; solved.

Any chance you could measure the core thickness? I'm curious as to how much additional volume/ area this new intercooler affords over stock. I think the stock IC is 1.25" in thickness.

Apologize for the delay, as I was working the last couple of nights.

Anyhow, just went out and measured it now.....

A full TWO INCHES thick.

Two inches eh? I am familiar with that! Hahaha jokes aside I am trying to assemble my buds together to film the install for those of y'all who haven't received/installed yours. Probably going to be a few days between filming, editing and posting. Supposed to get some bad weather here tonight so that may put a slight hold on those plans.

I think I mentioned this a while back and believe the alternative IC Core Thickness (In) is 1-3/16 = 0.1875" FWIW.  Z

That IC is packaged way better than my wife’s new Jeep radiator. I’m on my second one shipped to me as first had holes in box and a broken part on bottom of radiator. This one looks ok, but I, going to get it tested before letting Quadratec off the hook. I’d be interested to see the install video/photos and also before and after temps when pushed hard.

...good looking out. After working out the math; the new IC Core works out to an exact 60% density increase over the OEM IC. My mental dynamometer is pegging quite an increase in AWHP and increased safety margin from lower i.a.t temps. Super Excited over 2inchs (no homo)

Looks like they bowl'd it to your doorstep from a moving delivery truck. Efficient delivery

Matt said it also has a 20% increase in volume.. which is a big part of the reason you need to be tuned correctly for it. Otherwise, you will can potentially get underboost conditions which will trip a CEL.

Can hot pipes still be used with this intercooler? And does anyone know how many hrs the install will be? I may need to bring the sho to a shop for this install.

FYI - The Hose fittings should be in stock Formation and would not be an issue with Hotpipes AFAIK!

I believe Jordan was kind enough to produce an install video which should be released momentarily based on his most recent post. Z
