- I wanted to upgrade my 2021 F-150 PowerBoost Intercooler and after going down the rabbit hole of forums, I came across CVFab. This is an install and initial impression review of the CVFab Titan V2 which is their newest intercooler. I have included an affiliate link below:

I've used a Full Race V2 since my 2017 Raptor, currently on my 2019 Raptor, and will be installed on my 2022 Raptor when it comes in. Aftermarket Intercoolers are well worth the money. Great Video thanks for taking the time to make it!
Did you notice a power increase i just ordered one for my 2018 raptor
@@eldo322 I noticed a positive change in power. You should look into getting a set of AMS boost pipe $300ish which are the top pipes that feed the turbos and a CAI (I have a S&B) which I used on my 2017,2019, and soon 2022) those two things including the FMIC you just purchased are the best things you can buy for your truck. Then if you decide to add a tune you will be golden.
@@nmotionproductions29 thanks for the feed back, yea thats next on my list kinda getting it ready for a stage 2 goose tune sadly i can only get 91 on my area but thats fine
@@eldo322 Great Choice! Sucks about the 91 octane.
Late to the party, but that Pulp Fiction with Siri combo was f'n hilarious! LMFAO!!
Just installed my CVF intercooler on my 2012 Ecoboost and noticed a huge difference, not necessarily in temps, but in power and MPG...MPG maybe because I don't have to push the engine as hard due to the increased available power.
Hey Dan - came back to this video. Good stuff, thanks again for putting so much effort into these.
Also watch your transmission. Just had mine fail with only 10,056 miles. Ford engineering said they are seeing it in volumes. First sign was dampness around the trans pan gasket. 5-6 months to replace and 30 days to look at it…
#powerboostlife
They'd be buying it back. 5 months is inexcusable, supply constraints or not. Either that or they assume the loan for the time being.
Finally got around to installing mine (21 powerboost) and I definitely had to remove that trim piece around the air dam and trim the air dam itself about a half inch to get it in there. Also may have wanted to mention the 2 darts that hold the wire for the oem blow off wire. Unless I missed it in the vid, they were tough to get at and you can’t drop the stock intercooler without popping em out. Also it was definitely necessary to remove the stupid speaker and the mounting bracket (also a bit of a pain to get at) to mount the new one. Fortunately I already had that resistor or whatever it is plugged in to speaker connection that tricks it. It’s a nice intercooler though, well built. I can also say that the sound deadening in this truck is not all that impressive. I gutted and deadened the entire cab when I put a stereo system in. Not a good time at all but worth it, truck is extremely quiet and no rattles whatsoever. Thanks for the tips though, great vid!
Did you notice any kind of mpg increase after installing this?
In my opinion the blow off should be located so as to drain liquids from the bottom of the cooler!
I don't even own a F150 but this was pretty cool man.
Great video! Thanks for the shoutout!
Need help? Should i go to stage one whipple or ...V port bov ... magnum force stage 2.... and cvf titan 2 intercooler...and will I be needing a tune?
I know those ramp struggles, I have that issue trying to pull my Fiesta ST up on mine
Edit: do the intercooler flaps have to be on the vehicle? Id remove them for maximum airflow over that large intercooler
How did you get it into the top and bracket to line up.. ? I need about 1/2 to move forward butthe shutters are stopping it...
so by removing the pedestrian warning device did it make your check engine light come on?? Love all the content on the powerboost
Okay the OEM "Blow off valve" is not a blow off valve it's a Bypass Valve, you installed a blow off valve. OEMS use BV's to reduce turbo lag and for sound control, but with as small as these turbos are there really is no need for a BV and a Blow Off Valve just makes the truck sound cooler. Second the reason we are replacing the BV with the BOV is because once you start turning up the boost they get damage. The valve it self is just plastic and doesn't like anything over 15psi if you actually push the truck a lot. I set my little bros 2020 2.7l up with 3" down pipes into race cats, into 4.5 axle dumbs, with a S&B larger filter and y pipe, then 91 octane 5Star tune. But we blew up the BV when we hit 18psi, so we did the same BOV you did. Our next addons will be this intercooler with their hot and cold side pipes and turbo inlet pipes. Once we have that we're aiming for 20ish pound of boost. If we want more boost then its a turbo upgrade.
Do they make a cooler for a 5.0 coyote?
Bro I wonder how often do you drain your intercooler?
Thinking about getting this intercooler with the aluminum cold and hot air pipes. What’s the difference from the stock?
Hi Dan did you relocate your Pedestrian alert system yet? I’m looking to install my system this week and I’m hoping to keep the alert system
I’ve been looking for a bov for my 21’ powerboost. Can I use the same bov on the stock intercooler? Is it just plug and play or will have I have to mod it to work ?
Nice video! How’s your truck running now? Were you able to sort out all electrical bugs? I just placed an order for a powerboost Lariat but I’m kind of nervous knowing how complex this mashing is.
buy mines its a fully loaded lariat
Very nice. How did you obtain your F150 knowledge? Previous experience? Through your videos I'm learning quite a bit about the F150 engineering and construction.
I appreciate that. My knowledge on everything just comes from being naturally inquisitive and not being afraid to take things apart to figure it out.
🔥🔥
How on earth did you remove the speaker under the truck? You did it blind with an that stuff in the way.
Yep lol
my son in law put a tune on his Powerboost and took it to dragstrip.....13 second 102mph ....not bad for 6000# truck
Which tune? I have a Livernois on my 22 Tremor
@@torment12345 How are you liking the tune on your Tremor? I about to install mine from Livernois.
@@dustinnorwood4696 its alright, tons of power but seems to pull back when its really hot out. the transmission tune is a little more punchy between shifts sometimes. make sure you disable the full traction control or it'll pull power back
I have a burger tune on mine and it absolutely hauls ass
@@balrajdhot4377 what all did your JB4 install do for your truck? Do they have a minor setting for 87 octane and then 91,&93 octane as well? Any driveability, shift improvements?
Great video, i have a 21 3.5 eco boost and with the soooo high rising gas prices, does this help with your MPG at all if you noticed?
I'd assume so, probably atleast 1mpg maybe more who knows
Hey bro for your issues with the PCV was it throwing code P0035?
I drove the six speed and the 10 speed you can definitely hear more blow off from the six speed
Fiy, 2023 you have to remove whole lower shutter assembly, or it won't fit
How are you.liking the intercooler and turbosmart BOV? Thanks for the vid!
What kind of bike do you have on loaner, sorry I must’ve missed that blog, can you direct me to what I missed, thank you
had the same issue trying to get up onto my ramps wth them sliding. My dad told me to put in low gear So i put in rock crawl and up she went.
Did you have to trim plastic from the back of the shutter? Mine did not fit flush. The top rubber mounts of the intercooler would not line up.
Just installed mine and have same problem did you find a solution you mind sharing
@@ericcorrea1689 Did you have to cut a piece of the shutter assembly housing to make it fit? I have the same issue. 22F150 3.5L Eco.
Is intercooler against warranty?
00:56 had me dying laughing 😂
I have an SCT X4 Tuner and see the Charge Air Cooler Temp PID - short name CAC Temp
I think an intercooler upgrade is a good Idea, especially here in AZ! Will Ford give you a hassle with warranty issues? I’d also run an oil can to extend the life of the turbo.
Post the video of you towing with it. I would also be interested in how it impacted your MPG on your trip to LA and back.
Nice video!!!
Did the truck throw any codes with the pedestrian removal?
Nope
Do you happen to know if this will void your warranty?
No added components in themselves can void a warranty. The only thing that could void a warranty claim is if the manufacturer could prove your modification caused the problem. Anytime you take a wrench to your own vehicle you run the risk of dealing with a dealer who wants to give you grief but I am ready willing and able to fight any nonsense voiding attempts. Look up the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and you can decide if you want to do something like this or not. It’s your call, don’t let me steer you one way or the other.
@@GearsGadgets Thanks for the education on the video and the warranty act. Great info to have!
@@GearsGadgets do you think they could easily void a warranty if you tuned it ? Seems like it would be difficult to argue that a tune different than the factory couldnt cause a failure in transmission or engine
@@cubanb5401 yeah I draw the line at tuning because I feel strongly that they could make the case the powertrain isn’t engineered to take any more power than it was tuned for from the factory.
Where are you getting this oil from, PVC? I Put an Oil Separator on my F-150 Powerboost for under $200, which eliminates the oil from doing the Damage infernally to the Engine...
I'm getting almost 28 mpg with mine.... I'm not changing anything, GAS is too EXPESIVE... I'm not ruining my MPG...
Sorry , could you explain what an oil separator is and how it protects engine and increases mpg please . I have a powerboost 2023 but know very little about vehicles in general
@@cubanb5401 This is the Kit I used
Did you have to tune the truck after?
Nope. No tuning necessary
This is definitely a well made product, very happy with mine. Just wish someone would finally come out with a high end CAI for the powerboost, the Roush unit just does not appeal to me. Surprised no one else has stepped up because at this point they’d sell a pile of em with very little else to choose from. Glad some things are finally trickling out for that motor though.
Just FYI, K&N just released one. All their testing was done on a Powerboost according to their site.
Corsa and Volant
I'm hoping S&B manufacture one soon
Ended up putting the AFE momentum unit that just came out in and seems pretty well made. Didn’t notice any crazy gains as far as power but nice to hear the turbos a bit and looks good under the hood. Where I did see significant gains was with the tune from Livernois, that definitely woke it up. Goes pretty good for a relatively heavy truck.
Does anyone know if the inlet tubes are the same from the powerboost to the EcoBoost truck model? I know they have the same motor but the real-estate is different in the engine bay.
This is why I can't install the S&B CAI but I'm hoping the inlet tubes are the same at least.
Nice. About the same unit as the Cobb I installed on my 18 Raptor. Works way better if you have a guage to watch showing your intake and charge temps.
how exactly does a gauge make the intercooler work better?
@@matttackel997 it doesn’t. I don’t really remember what this comment was for and don’t have time to go back and watch. I think what I probably meant is the newer intercooler works better, and you can compare if you have a gauge to see temps.
Damn already replacing OEM parts. Lol just giving you a hard time. Pop off sounds good!
Haha I’m always replacing OEM parts. I enjoy tinkering too much to leave things alone.
@@GearsGadgets
It’s the only way to make ‘em better. 👍
I’m guessing the intercooler voids the warranty
Nothing voids a warranty. The only thing thing that can happen is the manufacturer can refuse warranty only if the part you put on causes a failure somewhere else. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
Hey can you point to a forum or where ever you found the settings in forscan to disable the ped. Sounder. I’ve got my f150 powerboost on order and I’ve been trying to find info on this but have not had much luck. Thanks! Great video btw. 👍
Mega ohm motorsports pedestrian speaker delete, however, this is not switchable like he's talking about in the video, it just shuts it off completely if you don't want to remove it.
I bought one of them too for when my powerboost finally comes in
@@MrFordguy73 is it some kind of a software or a physical thing you plug in or install on the truck?
I bought the Mega ohm speaker delete, it works great. It is basically a resister wrapped in heavy shrink - all you do is unplug the speaker and plug in the resister, zip tie to the truck and use the included plug to the speaker (in case you need to reattach later). Worth the $60ish AND there are no warning lights and absolutely NO annoying beeping and unnecessary groaning as you drive. Highly recommend!
@@michalp2362 it's a resistor I think. They just came out with a remote speaker delete, meaning you can enable or disable with the remote. I ordered one because at times I like it when it's crowded and I need people to get outta the way, so I can politely run them over🤣
PCV issue - That's what I thought at first, then a found that a VVT solenoid was going flaky at 33k (they should last at least 75k to 100k).
Anyways, I just ordered the V2 with the Hot/Cold pipe kit (because I'm also in Phoenix).
I didn't want the vent to atmo. BOV, but TurboSmart makes a Plumb Back version now. (P/N: TS-0225-1202)
I want more power but I also want to still be quiet and sneaky.... kinda/sorta be a sleeper.
the VTA is better to have because it doesnt recycle the excess pressure back into the turbine it just vents it. So the point of it is to take strain off the turbos and get more longevity
What is VTA?

A cash cow and train wreck in slo mo. What a bad deal if not an out right purchase mistake. Wait until the battery needs to be replaced in 4 yrs. Total cost ? an arm and a leg.
It’s warrantied for 8 years 100K so I’m not too worried about what happens to it in 4 years.
@@GearsGadgets it’s your money and time. Good luck with the truck.
It's not their first hybrid, just the first F150. The fusion and escape have been around for awhile and they are pretty solid. Buy what you want.
@@drudru5992 the battery is 1.5kw..... I can lift it myself and its going to be cheaper to replace than doing head gaskets in the 10-15 years of its life. Might wanna do a bit of research before you shit talk like a muppet.
@@stephenfrost545 no way people are going to be swapping out batteries themselves. No way you could swap out your battery for less than I could replace my head gaskets. No way the e truck would ever turn out to be cheaper than a conventional truck if you swapped out your own battery and I took my truck in to a garage and paid someone to replace my head gaskets. No way your batteries would out last my head gaskets. No way the e truck would out last my conventional truck. No way that your e truck would ever have a smaller carbon foot print than my conventional truck.
