on the 2011-2014 there are 2 rubber flaps that block airflow to this area. 1 rubber flap is between radiator and headlight, the other rubber flap is behind the headlight, in front of the airbox:
Once these rubber flaps are removed you will see a passage way in the upper core support and along the side of the headlight that provide fresh air to the airbox:

Am I reading too much into this to think the Raptor will have EFR turbos, same as the GT?

The design is intended to allow no more than stock, drawing from the wheel well. If you are at all concerned, leave the rubber flaps in place, or just trim the top (rather than removing)
I now have some decisions to make for how far to take my truck . . At least I know which company I will be using! The parts like this downpipe for the ecoboost are so far ahead of the rest of the pack. The quality is so good I honestly do not think it could be improved on in any way. Full-Race all the way . .
I am sure to those watching my build expect some Full-Race parts on it very soon. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=147380

It can draw from both locations or it also has a plug for the fender should you want to block that off. Or at least my prototype had that option. It s designed to allow air to enter the front and pass over the filters and blow out the wheel well, I will say with mine my air box is ice cold after driving in 40* weather my old afe 2 was still warm to the touch. The air blowing through this chamber keeps the temps down big time in the box. I personally don't see the need for the fender plug but it's an option I think not sure

our raptors will have EFR turbos! however the OEM raptor will get an upgraded K03/04 hybrid that is also found on the Ford GT. This is a turbo upgrade option we're making available to 2011-2014 F150 customers. They're not EFR turbo's but much easier/simpler install and price tag reflects that, so it will likely be a far more popular option long term
