Air Temp Sensor on Parts

What you are not told is that the air temp sensor has been relocated and the wiring needs to be lengthened. (for Ford F150 3.5 eco 2020). pretty easy setup afterwards. sounds pretty good, you can hear the turbos well, but I didn't get the nice air intake sound I was expecting, but better than the original.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Something Else

Seriously wakes up the turbo

Error loading media. Installation was mostly easy and took about 45 minutes. Installing the MAF sensor was probably the hardest part. The intake definitely wakes up the turbos and throttle response is a lot crisper. There is a performance boost, but minimal. However, I did not expect such an enormous increase as with a turbo upgrade. It's too early to say what will happen to the fuel economy, but I'll check after a few gas stations.

Pros
  • Ram Air Kit
Cons
  • There are problems

Would I buy again for spares

The sound you hear from the engine is air being sucked in. Sounds like a big slow vacuum cleaner. This is noticeable in the cabin, it takes time to get used to it. The turbos seem to spin a little faster than the stock ones. Turbo sound is clearer. The sense of efficiency remains the same, and the truck seems a little quicker on first launch when you step on the gas. I didn't buy it for the fuel economy or power increase, I bought it for the looks and the sound.

Pros
  • Spares
Cons
  • I will add later
