Product Function

This intercooler helps manage charge-air temperatures in turbocharged systems and supports consistent airflow through the cooling circuit. It is a direct-fit replacement for vehicles that use the listed 65 mm inlet and outlet configuration, including Ford Edge and Lincoln Nautilus models.

• Addresses reduced intercooler efficiency from heat soak
• Helps correct pressure loss across the charge-air cooler
• Supports stable turbocharger output under load
• Replaces damaged or leaking intercooler cores
• Restores cooling performance after impact or corrosion-related failure

Installation Notes

Verify inlet and outlet size, tank style, and core dimensions before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s factory intercooler layout matches the listed fitment for Ford Edge, Lincoln MKX, and Lincoln Nautilus applications. Inspect charge pipes, clamps, and surrounding cooling components for wear before reassembly.

Quality Assurance
