Screamer Turbochargers Ford 3.5L EcoBoost F-150 2013-2016

No, this specific kit (part number 1047621) is designed exclusively for 2013-2016 Ford F-150s with the 3.5L EcoBoost engine. For 2011-2012 models, you will need part number 1047620. — This Screamer Turbo Twin Kit is a direct, drop-in replacement for the factory turbochargers on the specified model years. The fitment is precise, as it is engineered to mount in the original locations and utilize the factory mounting hardware. BD Diesel clearly separates the kits by model year due to subtle differences in the platform; using the wrong part number will result in fitment issues. The estimated installation time for the correct kit is 6.4 hours, and it includes necessary new gaskets and studs to complete the job properly for the 2013-2016 truck generation.

No, a custom tune is not required for this turbo kit. They are engineered as a drop-in upgrade that is fully compatible with the stock Ford engine calibration. — BD Diesel explicitly designs the Screamer turbos for the F-150 EcoBoost to function without mandatory tuning. The wastegates are pre-tested and calibrated at the factory to work correctly with the OEM boost control strategy. While the turbos can support up to 415 HP, which would require custom tuning and other supporting mods to achieve, the immediate benefits of lower EGTs, reduced drive pressure, and improved efficiency from the larger compressor are available on a completely stock truck. This makes it a true bolt-on upgrade without the added expense or complexity of ECU re-programming.

The key upgrade is a larger billet compressor wheel. This design enhances airflow, provides more potential for top-end power, and reduces exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs). — The most significant component change from the factory turbo is the move to a larger 40.5 mm billet compressor wheel. This is a substantial improvement over the smaller, cast stock wheel. It allows the turbo to move a greater volume of air more efficiently. This upgrade provides several key benefits: — • Supports up to 415 horsepower, a significant increase over the stock ceiling. • Lowers drive pressures and EGTs, which improves engine longevity, especially under load. • The entire rotating assembly is VSR high-speed balanced to ensure durability and reliable performance. • It's designed to deliver the performance potential of the Raptor F-150 EcoBoost for a standard F-150.

The Screamer Turbo Twin Kit includes the pair of turbochargers along with new gaskets and studs required for installation. You will reuse your factory mounting hardware. — This kit (PN 1047621) provides a comprehensive solution for replacing your truck's turbos. Inside the box, you will find: — • One pair of BD Screamer Turbochargers (left and right sides). • A full set of new gaskets to ensure a leak-free seal at all flanges. • New installation studs. — The inclusion of these items prevents the need to source them separately or risk reusing old, worn-out hardware that could compromise the installation. The turbos themselves are fully assembled and feature pre-calibrated wastegates, allowing for a direct, drop-in replacement that mounts using the original factory hardware.

The installation is rated at 6.4 hours and is considered a 'drop-in' procedure. It does not require specialized tools beyond what a well-equipped shop or advanced DIY mechanic would have for a major engine-area repair. — While this is a bolt-on kit designed to use factory mounting points and hardware, accessing the turbochargers on the 3.5L EcoBoost engine is labor-intensive. The 6.4-hour estimate by BD reflects the time needed to remove and replace the various components surrounding the turbos. No cutting, welding, or fabrication is needed. The kit includes new gaskets and studs, but you will reuse the main factory mounting bolts. This job is recommended for technicians or experienced enthusiasts comfortable with extensive disassembly in the engine bay.

Yes, this turbo kit can provide significant benefits for towing. The design focuses on increasing efficiency, which lowers exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) and drive pressure, reducing strain on the engine. — The larger 40.5 mm billet compressor wheels move air more efficiently than the OEM units. This directly combats the high EGTs and drive pressures that can be detrimental to an engine when towing heavy loads or climbing long grades. By keeping the engine operating in a cooler, more efficient range, the Screamer turbos enhance reliability and help prevent potential damage from excessive heat. While they also increase the power potential up to 415 HP, the primary advantage for towing is the improved thermal management and reduced engine stress.

Absolutely. The Screamer Turbo is an excellent choice for owners replacing worn factory turbos who want improved reliability and additional performance potential without extensive modifications.

VSR (Vibration Sorting Rig) high-speed balancing verifies the rotating assembly under operating speeds to ensure smooth operation, improved durability, and long turbocharger life.

Billet compressor wheels are stronger and lighter than traditional cast wheels, allowing for improved airflow, greater efficiency, and increased performance potential.
