Wagner Tuning 09-10 Ford Focus RS/RS500 Performance Intercooler Kit

This is the Wagner Tuning Performance Intercooler Kit specifically for the 2009 and 2010 Ford Focus RS and RS500 models. If you're pushing your Focus RS hard, especially with performance tuning, managing intake air temperature is crucial. This kit replaces the factory intercooler with a larger, more efficient unit designed to cool the air charge coming from the turbocharger more effectively. Cooler air means denser air, which allows your engine to make more power and respond more crisply.

Wagner Tuning is known for building well-made cooling components, and this intercooler is no exception. It features a high-performance bar-and-plate core, which offers a larger surface area and better thermal capacity compared to the stock tube-and-fin design. The end tanks are constructed from cast aluminum, providing a solid foundation for the core and ensuring a good seal. This setup is designed to handle the increased boost pressures and heat generated by tuned engines, helping to prevent heat soak and maintain consistent performance during spirited driving or track use. The kit is engineered as a direct replacement for the factory intercooler, aiming for a straightforward installation process without requiring significant modifications.

When installing this intercooler, pay close attention to the routing of the charge pipes to ensure there are no kinks or obstructions. Proper fitment of the pipes and secure clamping are essential for maintaining boost pressure and preventing leaks. This kit is a popular choice for Focus RS owners looking to maximize their engine's potential after upgrading other components like the turbocharger or exhaust system.
