2022 Power Boost Intercooler Upgrade

[Mrvp83]

Hi

i myself have the cvf and turbosmart. Just got them in the mail.

Dan from Gears and gadgets has installed the same set up and he had to remove the Pedestrian alert system.

I would like to keep the alert system. Anyone here has a fix for this?

thank you

I'm installing mine right now and there's no way to get intercooler in without removing PA and mounting bracket. Not sure if wire is long enough to remount somewhere else. I'm leaving unplugged for now.

Well..installing IC is quick. The problem is the PA speaker and bracket. There's a hidden bolt 10mm ontop of the bracket and right next to it is another 13mm don't remove the 13mm bolt. You have to reach up and around with your fingers feel where the small bolt is then try to get ratchet in to unscrew. I found mounting spot for the PA on the other side.

Was able to use one of the original mounting holes to bolt down. The PA bracket.

Need small hands to mount onto left side. My hands barely fit.

Just unboxed the cvf intercooler and right away saw a bunch of metal shavings inside on both sides. I don't think it's good for my brand new $350 blow off valve.

Anyway a little disappointed but unit itself is thick and heavy. Can't wait till Saturday to install.

Thanks for the heads up. Planning on installing mine tomorrow so will check for any shavings inside.

It's worth it! I took it out after installing it...and thank God no cops were around. Boost kicks in quicker and seems to go higher than usually. I wish we can turn on actual psi numbers.

The blow off valve wasn't very loud, almost stock like..

Forgot mention. When you take of the hidden bolt for PA speaker there's a clip that the bolt screws into, be careful it in doesn't fall inside the square frame tube. Mine fell in and was pain to get out. You see in my picture I resued that same hole and bolt to hold PA on left hand side.

The BlowOff Valve should be much louder than stock. I had the same set up on my 2020 and it was a huge improvement from stock. I did have then and also have now a CAI installed also though.

My truck is Ecoboost though.

I had to return my CVf intercooler it also had Aluminum shards in and around the intercooler. It went back to American Truck. I ended up ordering a new one from 5 star tuning

You can use a scan tool that has a live mode, to access and display the PID for boost.

How did you manage to get the pa back in? It was a tight fit. I left it out for now I’ll find a new spot for it later

Angle it a bit, there's enough space. I wanted to use original mounting hole on top of frame. That was a pain due to limited space for hand.

You left out PA? Did you get dashboard error/warning?

 

[Mrvp83]

Yes there was an error/warning

I just can’t get my get the pa on the bracket.

did you install the pa on the bracket before putting it back?

This thing is like a rocket ship out of the box! Ive launched it a couple of times just cause it’s so much fun. That said most of the time I drive to keep the turbos nice and quiet and I’m averaging well over 25mpg.
