OK I ordered new turbo's from Apple Ford when i got them in mounted i the Rear one up to the Exhaust manifold and when i went to hook up the brackets there is nothing to hook them to.


Call them up and they said to leave them off they are no longer required is that true ????

Did they supply you with 2010-12 turbos or 2013+?  I vaguely recall a note in a recent Flex engine replacement thread about this.

Maybe R&R10 can chime in here ...

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

they sent

FRONT TURBO AA5E-98438-00      790317-0007

Hmm, I see these part numbers for 2010 & 2013
1   AA5Z-6K682-E   Turbocharger1 FLEX; RIGHT
2   AA5Z-6K682-F   Turbocharger1 Turbocharger, LEFT

so they should be identical, unless of course the design changed over the years.  Like the MAP sensor having one bolt instead of two.
