Fitting your Intercooler
Identify intercooler location
On the 2nd Generation Ford Ranger Raptor (P703/RA) 2022+ the intercooler is located at the front of the vehicle located on the lower portion of the car behind the number plate. It is easily accessible from the bottom of the car.
NOTE!Allow for the engine to cool down.
Removing the Undertray
Remove the under-tray of the vehicle by removing all the plastic clips holding the tray in place. Once the under-tray is removed, the intercooler assembly can be accessed. This is done by removing the front two 15mm bolts and loosening the rear two bolts.

Refitting Intercooler to Car
With everything fitted back to the intercooler we can fit the intercooler back into the car. It’s helpful to use the intercooler bracket to assist with the intercooler to remain in place.
The turbo feed pipes as well as charge pipe to the throttle body must be refitted, the charge pipe needs an audible click to sound from the retention clip as well as the hoses from the turbochargers.

Refitting Undertray
Refit Undertray with the 2 x 15mm bolts that were moved to originally gain access to the Diverter valve area.

It is important to check for leaks and correct operation, ensuring no leaks are present and all hoses are correctly seated.
TROUBLE SHOOTING- Diverter valve not actuating - Confirm electrical signal plug is connected appropriately, as the plugs are new, some force may be required to click the plug into place.
- Valve is staying open - Confirm the valve has O-rings as they may have been dropped or lost during installation.
- Boost Pressure loss or lower than before - Confirm the valve has O-Rings as they may have been dropped or lost during installation. Intercooler Pipes are correctly seated.
- Failing the above, submit a technical request to [email protected] with information of your engine configuration and photos of installation.
- As the factory engine control unit controls the valve, the diverter valve is almost silent.
