Default Ford Powerstroke intercooler

Anybody hear of fox's using ford powerstroke turbo diesel intercoolers on their 5.0? I heard from a buddy it works and is cheap too. I definetly dont have money for a turbo application but i was just wondering what its all about.

The only thing you have to worry about is space. Find out the dimensions of the intercooler & how much room you have to fit it. If you don't have enough space, no worrys, you can always cut the intercooler.

Why not just buy an aftermarket one that fits? And the intercoolers are TINY on diesels.. Not worth it if you ask me.

They are massive. They need big intercoolers most diesels run 15-30 psi & some see as much as 50psi with minor modifications, this is why they make gobs of torque.
