Boost Turbo Response and Efficiency on your 2017-2019 Ford F-150 3.5L EcoBoost

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Ford F-150 owners running the second-generation 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbo engine. Whether you’re towing heavy loads or looking for better passing power on the highway, this kit is for the driver who wants their turbos to breathe without restriction.

The Problem: The factory intake system on the 3.5L EcoBoost is designed primarily for silence, using restrictive plastic tubing and pleated paper filters that create significant air turbulence. This bottleneck forces your turbos to work harder to pull air, increasing intake air temperatures (IATs) and softening throttle response during critical acceleration moments.

The Solution: We engineered this cold air intake system to replace the narrow factory air box with a high-flow T304 aluminum mandrel-bent tube and a reusable performance filter. By streamlining the air path to the Gen 2 3.5L EcoBoost, we significantly reduce pumping losses, allowing for faster turbo spool-up and more consistent power delivery across the entire RPM range.


Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

  • Enhanced Turbo Efficiency: By providing a less restrictive path, this kit allows for up to a 10% increase in horsepower and torque, directly improving the volumetric efficiency of the twin-turbo setup.
  • T304 Aluminum Construction: Unlike plastic intakes that can heat soak or crack over time, our lightweight aluminum tubing dissipates heat rapidly and maintains its structural integrity under high vacuum.
  • Maintenance-Free Performance: Features a washable, reusable high-flow filter that only requires servicing every 50,000 miles, eliminating the need for expensive paper filter replacements.

Tools You Will Need

  • 10mm socket and ratchet (or 10mm wrench)

  • Flathead screwdriver or panel popper tool (for factory plastic push clips)
  • T20 Torx driver (if applicable for aftermarket sensor adapter plates)
  • Clean microfiber cloth
Mechanic’s Pro Tip (The "Gotcha"):
The Gen 2 3.5L EcoBoost uses a quarter-turn twist-lock Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor and delicate plastic quick-connect Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) fittings. Under-hood heat makes these plastic locking tabs extremely brittle. Never pry the IAT sensor or CCV collars with a metal screwdriver—use gentle thumb pressure to depress the release tabs, or you will snap the locking lugs and end up with unmetered boost leaks or a persistent check engine light.

Phase 1: Removing the Factory Part from your 2017-2019 Ford F-150 3.5L

  1. Disconnect the Battery: Always start by disconnecting the negative battery terminal using a 10mm wrench to reset the fuel trim learning tables and prevent short circuits.
  2. Disconnect Electrical & Vacuum Connections: Slide back the red locking tab on the IAT sensor harness located on the driver’s side intake tube and unplug it. Carefully squeeze the quick-release ring on the factory PCV/CCV breather tube and pull the hose free from the intake tract.
  3. Remove the Front Air Scoop Clips: Use a panel popper tool or flathead screwdriver to remove the two plastic push pins securing the OEM front inlet scoop to the radiator core support.
  4. Loosen Turbo Inlet Clamps: Using a 7mm socket or 8mm nut driver, loosen the hose clamps securing the OEM dual intake y-pipe to the driver’s side and passenger’s side turbo inlet tubes.
  5. Unbolt and Extract the Factory Airbox: Remove the single 10mm bolt securing the lower airbox housing to the driver’s side inner fender. Unclip the top airbox lid clamps and pull the entire factory intake tract out of the engine bay. Ensure the lower rubber mounting grommets remain seated in the truck’s inner fender tray.
  6. Safely Remove the OEM IAT Sensor: Locate the IAT sensor in the removed OEM intake tube. Gently lift the small plastic retaining tab and twist the sensor counter-clockwise one-quarter turn to slide it out. Place it on a clean microfiber towel.

Phase 2: Installing the Cold Air Intake for Ford F150 (2017-2019) 3.5L Ecoboost Engine

  1. Transfer the IAT Sensor: Insert the factory IAT sensor into the aftermarket intake tube’s dedicated port, ensuring the rubber O-ring seats cleanly without tearing. Rotate clockwise until it clicks firmly into the locked position.
  2. Mount the New Airbox Housing: Align the base pins of the new heat shield/airbox assembly with the factory rubber grommets in the fender well of your 2017-2019 Ford F-150 3.5L. Secure the housing using the factory 10mm bolt and re-pin the front ram-air snorkel to the radiator core support using the factory plastic clips.
  3. Install Couplers and Intake Tubes: Slip the silicone couplers over the twin turbo inlet pipes. Position the new dual intake tubes into place, aligning the brackets. Snug down the supplied hose clamps with an 8mm nut driver, making sure the tubes are fully seated before final torque.
  4. Reconnect Breather Lines & Sensor Harness: Snap the factory CCV/PCV quick-connect line onto the new intake fitting until an audible "click" is heard. Plug the IAT wiring harness back into the sensor and push the red safety lock forward.
  5. Install High-Flow Filter & Reconnect Battery: Slide the high-flow air filter(s) onto the intake velocity stack/tube inside the airbox and tighten the clamp with an 8mm nut driver. Reconnect the negative battery terminal using a 10mm wrench.
  6. PCM Idle Relearn Protocol: Start the engine. DO NOT touch the throttle or gas pedal for at least 20 to 30 seconds. Allow the EcoBoost powertrain control module (PCM) to read the new baseline MAF/IAT airflow data and stabilize idle trims smoothly before taking your first test drive.
