Ordered an intercooler!

[302Xplorer]

Any CEL because of removing the AGS? Typically on others where I have messed with the AGS I’ve left the Motors in place and removed the shutters. Or zip tied the Motor in place. Of course a tune can remove it from existence also, so it does not need to remain connected. Most tuners cutoff or seriously modify AGS settings anyway...

I unplugged the automatic shutters and secured it in a safe position. No CELs yet!

So you left the electronics in place, just removed the shutter assembly?

The mechanism that I removed the electronic plug from was left in the shutter fan assembly and removed from the vehicle completely. The plug is secured in a safe spot within the bodywork near the intercooler . No codes.

In that picture, the controller is at the bottom. My guess is the parameters for closing haven’t been met yet, so it hasn’t attempted. When it does, it will
Most likely throw a code. At least that has been my experience in the past.

How are temps looking?

This should set a soft code, for voltage/ambient temp. Ford reduced the size of the intercooler after 2017. They were having damp weather power loss. They added shutters for condensation issues and to increase in MPG.

I’m going to remove the controller from the assembly just in case it starts throwing a code. There is plenty of room where I have placed the disconnected plug for the controller too.

I haven’t Had the opportunity to take a good look at the temps yet. I plan on doing that today and will post the results later. I want to get some numbers before I install the intake that is arriving tomorrow.

The intercooler I chose has a drain plug that should help with any power loss from accumulated condensation. MPG is not what I’m looking to improve with the intercooler upgrade in this specific application.

You get any air temp numbers post IC install? These hot ambients we have had the past few days should give some really good numbers!

Interesting thread 302. Has/will there be any loss in boost (before tune) with the larger intercooler?
