2023 Ford Bronco — intercooler before adding more boost?

NewCarDetailer452Community StarterDec 19, 20252023 Ford Bronco BadlandsSan Antonio

2023 Ford Bronco Badlands, about 28,500 miles. After repeated pulls the car softens as intake temperatures rise. Would you prioritize cooling before increasing boost, even if the current setup is otherwise mild?

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2023 Ford Bronco owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. That's the sequence I'd use. This is the version I'd tell a friend.
