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:

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

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)

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
hey thanks Randy, it was real nice to meet you and Emory. Really glad you like our downpipes, everyone here is pretty excited to see your wild EcoBoost project come about

So does it draw from the wheelwell, or by the headlight? Not trying to nit-pick, just figuring out how it works

I think both because it doesn't replace the stock air box. I asked that awhile back, it never got answered.

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

What is the thickness of the cooler? Gotta see if I can get it to fit behind the '66 grille somehow.
