The cold-side intercooler pipe for the 6.7L Powerstroke replaces the factory plastic tube on 2017–2019 Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks with aluminum tubing and silicone components. This upgrade improves airflow, eliminates a known failure point, and includes an IAT sensor provision for a direct factory-compatible fit.
What Does a Cold-Side Intercooler Pipe Do?
The cold-side charge pipe carries cooled, compressed air from the intercooler outlet to the intake manifold. Maintaining full bore diameter through this section reduces pressure drop, reduces turbo lag and improves throttle response — particularly under towing or high-load conditions.
Features
Aluminum tubing and silicone components — stronger and more reliable than the factory plastic tube
Quick-disconnect flange — simplifies installation and integrates directly with the factory setup
IAT sensor provision — maintains compatibility with the factory IAT sensor, no relocation needed
Spring-loaded clamps — secure, leak-free connection under sustained boost pressure
Benefits
Eliminates factory plastic tube cracking and failure under boost
Improves airflow and charge air delivery to the intake manifold
Reduces turbo lag for faster throttle response
Prevents boost leaks at coupler connection points

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 242 reviews.
I put the ezlynk 80 hp tow haul tune with pto in and it made a world of difference in the truck. I drove it 800 miles last weekend and it went from 7 mpg to 12 mpg. I think that’s a great gain for a 19500 lb truck. It is always at that weight sometimes a little bit more. Like the throttle response and the engine brake is way better than it was. I have no complaints with it at all
I’m using it for my ELD and it tends to malfunction and turn off twice per day. I have to unplug and replug it in, which when running it as an ELD is undesirable.
Purchased the system for my 2017 F350, mainly because a buddy said I would get better fuel mileage! While that is the furthest from the truth, I relish in the increased power and loud exhaust to scare the slow people who don’t know what a speed limit is. I purchased 36.5 tires for my truck and liked that the Mini Max V2 was able to calibrate for the larger tires and lower tire pressure requirements. Over all, quite pleased.
Packaging completely dsstroyed clamps destroyed contacted mfg they wanted photos of original packaging there wasnt any they refused to do anything about the damaged pipes even with the photos sent they could care less and fitment is horrid all bends way off of where they needed to be
Everything fits and works as should but instructions or at least a diagram would be very helpful for install. It took a lot of internet searching to figure out where the L bracket went
The people at Tuner Depot are great, I had issues with a tuner and they helped me with and went out of there way make it better. If I have to do it again, I will go with Tuner Depot.

This is the second set of parts I ordered. 4 stars because this set works after having to replace the first due to incompatibility with the year of my truck. Compatibility info was not clear enough on the first set before purchasing.
