Erick from LET came out to Phoenix a couple weeks ago to help tune our FreakOBoost F150 on the twin turbo EFR setup. It is making 507whp on 91 octane, stock fuel pump and stock injectors. No water/meth or any other fueling systems (yet). I will put together a new build thread with details on this. Sadly we lost a dear friend and important member at Full-Race in a tragic accident a couple months back, which halted our in-house tuning progress. I can confidently say erick has done great work and been a pleasure to work with. I can not recommend him enough and look forwards to working together in the future
no, there is zero benefit to replacing the piping all the way. The entire benefit comes from the airbox configuration and elimination of the 2->1 merge. oem intake pipe rear section and hotside charge pipes are actually designed and mfg'd by roush and very very good
There is an important differentiation between the 2011-2014 F150's airbox and the 2015+ airbox. 2011-2014 pulls in air from the Fender well (wet, when it's raining). The 2015+ F150 pulls in air from the front of the vehicle. This is a major difference and the most significant aspect of our design. We have the intake piping in stock and final specification airboxes are being fabricated now. we may deserve a slap on the hand for the intake delays, but when we found a way for the same intake airbox to work on our twin turbo kit it had to happen.

They are all prepping PRI show this week. The month of November is crazy for Full Race They have 2 months to build the Sema build followed a full week at Sema Then by 2 PRI events. Geoff is the only one that really deals with the forum and I know he is dealing with PRI at the moment. I am sure that once he gets all the trade shows done he will be all hands on deck for the forum exc

My question was in regard to the air intake. Do you know if this completely changes where air is pulled from on the 11-14 MY trucks?
Wasn't sure if he was referencing the '15's or not.

Something like this would make some sense.

yes, papatiger you have the right idea. This intake is a simple design and draws air from the front headlight area.
If you look at the 11-14 ecoboost F150 and V8 F150, they used the same airbox as the previous gen V8. This portion carried over from V8 to the ecoboost engines - partially due to the very high cost associated with changing the airbox and sheet metal in an existing chassis at the mass-production level. The 2015 was a clean slate design and all the new Ford ecoboost engines draw air in from the front end now... Placing the inlet in the fenderwell reduced NVH for the non turbo V8 engines. but for the turbo engine, some believe it may allow moisture to get drawn in, which could later condense inside the IC to cause a misfire event
