I assumed they were functionally the same...this was a mistake. I ordered the Cobb intercooler for a Fiesta and it is not close to fitting or working. 1. The Fiesta IC mounts differently and it's location allows for a much larger, wider unit to be installed. 2. The TC intercooler mounts between frame rails that limit the width... unlike the Fiesta. 3. The TC IC has two ports on the outlet, one for the MAP sensor and another for an evap line. I removed the stock TC and measured all clearances. The only TC that will fit is a Mishimoto Z-Series. I ordered one and will have the necessary ports installed by a machine shop. Look for a separate post on the install soon. Thats a big bummer. Is the Z-Series a universal fit?

Don Ridley Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 No, any intercooler will require modifications to add the pressure sensor and evap purge fittings. I am having those welded by a shop. I will need to fab some mounting brackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Ridley Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 .....I think you question was whether the Z-Series is designed as a universal fit IC. Yes it is But the Z-Series does not easily fit the TC. Sorry for the mix up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
