15-16 Ford F-150 3.5L Ecoboost AMS AMS.46.08.0001-1 Performance Turbo Inlet Tubes

15-16 Ford F-150 3.5L EcoBoost AMS Performance AMS.46.08.0001-1 Performance Turbo Inlet Tubes

The AMS Performance Turbo Inlet Tubes are designed to remove a major airflow restriction found between the intake system and turbochargers on the 2015-2016 Ford F-150 3.5L EcoBoost. AMS increases the inlet tube diameter from the restrictive 40mm factory design to 62mm, providing a 140% increase in cross-sectional area at the factory bottleneck. The smoother, larger airflow path helps the twin turbochargers breathe more freely while reducing pressure drop before the compressor covers. AMS testing showed approximately 30% less pre-turbo vacuum compared to the factory inlet tubes. The result is a strong supporting modification for stock or upgraded EcoBoost combinations, especially when paired with proper ECU tuning. Factory fittings and connections are retained for OEM-style functionality, while compatibility with the factory airbox and most aftermarket intake systems makes these inlet tubes an easy addition to many F-150 performance builds.
