High-Performance Cold Air Intake Kit for 2011–2018 Ford 3.5L Twin-Turbo – Airflow & Boost

Upgrade your Ford’s performance with this ultimate induction system, engineered specifically for the 3.5L V6 twin-turbocharged EcoBoost engine. Designed to replace the restrictive factory air box, this intake allows the engine to draw in a larger volume of cold air, delivering noticeable gains in horsepower and torque, improved throttle response, and enhanced turbo spool across all driving conditions.

The Taurus SHO, Flex, and Explorer are celebrated for their powerful twin-turbo performance and versatile capability. This intake enhances that character by maximizing airflow to the turbochargers, helping them spool quicker and deliver more immediate power throughout the RPM range—especially during low- and mid-range acceleration where it is needed most. The result is an estimated 7–10% increase in horsepower and a 6–8% boost in torque, along with smoother power delivery and improved efficiency during everyday driving.

Key Features & Performance Benefits

• Optimized Turbo Induction: Replaces the stock air box with a lightweight T-304 polished aluminum intake pipe designed to maximize airflow through the manifold system.

• Rapid Turbo Spool: Helps the twin turbochargers reach peak boost faster, providing more immediate torque and sharper acceleration.

• Measurable Power Gains: Engineering designed to provide an estimated 7–10% increase in horsepower and a 6–8% boost in torque.
