Intercooler shutters

[B4JA]

Hi all - I just received a turbosmart intercooler to address the significant heat soak issues I have observed with the ford procal tune. It seems CRAZY to me that there is a set of shutters that block flow to the intercooler. For the radiator, I get it (to help the car reach operating temperature faster). But for the intercooler it seems like a crazy design on a high performance truck.

what have others done regarding these shutters? I am included to remove or somehow disable them but curious what people have done. Is there a way that they can be held open at all times using forscan?

Can't be done in Forscan. This is controlled in the PCM. It will take HPtuners setup or get a custom tune from someone like Goosetuned.

I've read here that people have removed them and left the actuator attached. Not sure why...

Might be necessary to have them in winter?
