Do not work on your vehicle while the engine is hot.
Make sure the engine is turned off and the vehicle is in Park or the Parking Brake is set.
IMPORTANT: Failure to disconnect the battery for a minimum of 2 hours may cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate upon completion of the installation or subsequent operation. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!
First start by removing the intake scoop. You will need a T27 Torx to do so.
Remove the bolt holding the air box to the vehicle. This is located on the passenger fender side of the stock air box. You will need an 8mm socket for this.
Take a body panel removal tool to pop out the plastic pins holding the wiring harness to the air box.
With an 8mm socket/5/16th nut driver or a flat head screwdriver, loosen the hose clamp on the rear intake tube.
Disconnect the quick-connect fitting just to the right of the air box. To disconnect it, pull out the green latch from the fitting.
Lift up the stock intake air box in order to gain access to the IAT Sensor. Then push down on the clip and disconnect it.
Time to remove the air box from the engine bay.
Take a channel lock to disconnect the hose clamp just next to the intake tube.
Disconnect the two quick connect hoses.

Take a 7mm socket and remove the hose clamp located at the turbo. Then pull the tube assembly off of the turbo.
Before you remove the entire assembly, you will have to remove one more line from that tube assembly. In order to remove this PCV line, please use the provided tools (22) to slide under the fitting, then spin until the line pops off. Please see next slide.
With everything disconnected, go ahead and fully remove the intake tube assembly from the engine bay.
If your 2.3L Ecoboost stock intake system has a Green Quick Connect, you will need to thread in the fitting provided into the S&B intake tube.
If your 2.3L Ecoboost does not have a Green Quick Connect, you can just close off the port by threading in the provided NPT plug.

Install the IAT Sensor grommet on the intake tube.
Install the stock IAT Sensor into the grommet. Please ensure you twist the sensor upon install, making sure it fully clips in.
Install the quick connect assembly (14) onto the intake tube. Please ensure that the included gasket (12) is installed between the intake tube and assembly.
Install the other Quick Connect Fitting (13) onto the intake tube, located at the corner of the tube.
Install the tube seal (9) onto the S&B air box (1).
Install the Silicone Scoop (11) onto the S&B air box.
Install the fender seal (8) onto the S&B air box.
Install the air filter (2) into the S&B air box. We recommend installing it inside the box vertically, then turning it on it's side to line up with the intake tube.
Then go ahead and place the #54 hose clamp (3) onto the air filter flange. Leave it loose in preparation for the next step.
Install the intake tube into the air box and push the filter onto the tube.
Once fully seated, use a 5/16th nut driver to tighten the hose clamp onto the air filter to hold the two together.
Peel off the protective film from your clear lid (6).
Install the clear lid into your Snap In Lid Seal (5).
Once done, install the lid onto your S&B air box.
Install the provided coupler (15) with hose clamps (16) onto the turbo inlet.
You will need an 8mm or 5/16th socket or nut driver to loosen/tighten these hose clamps.
Additionally, we recommend facing the hose clamps on the top in order to access them easily.
Disconnect the stock blowoff valve hose.
Take the new S&B Silicone Wrapped hose, put the OEM clamps on both ends of the tube.
Mount one end of the S&B blowoff hose onto the lower port on the S&B intake tube.
Install the air intake kit into the vehicle's engine bay.
Mount the intake tube onto the turbo inlet.
Take a T27 Torx and mount the air box to the passenger side core support.
Clip on the green quick connect to the top of the S&B intake tube.
Clip in the other two quick disconnect fittings into the quick-disconnect assembly located near the bottom of the intake tube.
Mount the other end of the S&B blowoff tube onto the port just next to the 2 quick disconnects.
Connect the two end of the included IAT sensor extension (20).
