Turbochargers use the engine's exhaust gas to force more air into your engine's cylinders. Because cool air is denser than warm air, the exhaust is compressed and then run through an intercooler. The intercooler helps cool down the air, thus making it denser and giving your engine more power. A better intercooler can cool the air down more efficiently, which means even more power.

The 2018 Ford Mustang's stock intercooler is a standard tube-and-fin model. While it works very well for most drivers, if you're really into performance driving, or just like going fast, then the stock intercooler can get too hot to be efficient.

Fortunately, aftermarket 2018 Mustang intercoolers feature more innovative designs that can cool air down more quickly. Many of these mount in the stock location, using stock hardware. That means you'll have an easier installation process and that the Mustang's aerodynamics will be undisturbed. The stock active grille shutters are also helping to cool down your engine, so keeping them functioning is a smart move.

If you're looking for an all-in-one solution, many companies put together kits that include an intercooler, a cold air intake, and a tuner. These are three of the best mods you can get for an EcoBoost, and getting them together and with brand compatibility means you'll be able to see a big difference immediately.
