Real world cooling performance
Fast Ford magazine intercooler test results measured in degrees C:
Standard intercooler
- Run 1: Into intercooler 140 – out 85
- Run 2: Into intercooler 131 – out 92
- Run 3: Into intercooler 140 – out 97
AIRTEC intercooler
- Run 1: Into intercooler 140 – out 31
- Run 2: Into intercooler 150 – out 38

If the ECU sees intake temperatures over 50°C it will reduce power for engine safety. The AIRTEC Stage 1 intercooler helps keep charge temps low so your Fiesta ST180 delivers consistent performance pull after pull.
