Title: Turbo brand
Post by: Randy Stinchcomb on November 23, 2016, 12:29:21 AM
Ive read BW and Garrett, which one on a 2015 Ecoboost X-Sport??
I read the post about Blankets, trying to lower temps underhood and intake, so don't hate.

I also read about the shroud/deflector on the leftside, in front ov the IC, how do you get toit? any exploded views of it and for the Turbos??

I think the F-150 crew uses the Borg warner and our side uses Garrett turbos made by Honeywell and no need for blankets my friend. Z

Z is right, Garrett GT15 on the transverse vehicles, I don't remember the BW size on the trucks but about 30% bigger and no they won't swap. :)

I'm not quite sure but there might be a couple of flaps by the IC that you can maybe adjust to let more air flow in IDK...number 9 on Diagram below.

My XSport had a square of plastic glued on the front driver's side of the CAC. I had my front bumper off for my OCC install and peeled it off at that time. You should be able to see through your grille whether or not you have one on yours.

There are instructions here to remove the front fascia. Only takes about 15 minutes to remove.

Not sure if there is a different/easier way to access, but this is how I got to it. :)
