A Complete Hot and Cold Side Charge Pipe Upgrade for the 2.7L EcoBoost F-150
The aFe BladeRunner Hot and Cold Charge Pipe Kit replaces both restrictive factory charge pipes on the 2024-2026 Ford F-150 2.7L EcoBoost with TIG-welded, mandrel-bent aluminum tubing finished in red. The smoother internal path reduces turbulence and pressure loss between the turbocharger and engine, supporting up to approximately 20 percent greater airflow than the factory pipes.
Key Features
- Replaces both the hot side and cold side factory charge pipes
- TIG-welded, mandrel-bent aluminum construction
- Up to approximately 20 percent greater airflow than factory pipes
- Includes stainless SmartSeal clamps and 5-ply silicone couplings
- Factory-style quick-connect fitting with O-ring for a secure connection
- Integrated 1/8 in. NPT port for sensors or water-methanol injection
- Red powdercoated finish

FAQ
Does this kit replace both charge pipes or just one?This kit replaces both the hot side and cold side factory charge pipes.
What color is this kit finished in?Red, powdercoated for durability.
Does this kit require any tuning after installation?A charge pipe upgrade alone typically does not require a tune, but check for any factory diagnostic monitoring that may need to be addressed.
What is the NPT port used for?It provides a mounting point for boost gauges, sensors, or water-methanol injection equipment.
Does this kit include the couplers and clamps needed for installation?Yes, silicone couplers and stainless SmartSeal clamps are included.
Will this fit a 2021-2023 F-150 2.7L?No, this specific part number is designed for the 2024-2026 model year 2.7L EcoBoost, verify the correct aFe part number for earlier model years.
Is the red version functionally different from the black version?No, the red and black versions share the same construction and performance specifications, differing only in finish color.
Is a tune required to use the full potential of this charge pipe kit?No tune is required for the charge pipe itself to function, though a performance tune may complement the improved airflow.
Installation Instructions
- Relieve any residual pressure in the intake system and disconnect the battery negative terminal.
- Remove the factory engine cover and any components blocking access to the charge pipes.
- Disconnect the factory hot side and cold side charge pipes from the turbocharger, intercooler, and throttle body.
- Install the new aFe hot and cold side aluminum charge pipes using the supplied couplers and clamps.
- Reconnect any sensors or fittings using the integrated NPT port as needed.
- Reinstall the engine cover and reconnect the battery, then inspect all connections for leaks after starting the engine.

Forced Induction
Forced induction is the fastest way to add real power to an engine without adding displacement, and this collection covers the full range of turbocharger, supercharger, intercooler, and boost control hardware needed to build a reliable boosted platform. Whether you are running a factory turbo upgrade, swapping to a bigger frame turbocharger, adding a centrifugal or roots style supercharger, or dialing in a nitrous system for a quick shot of extra power, you will find the components here to build and support the setup correctly. Every part in this collection is organized by system type so you can move from a stock turbocharger to a properly supported forced induction build in one place. Intercoolers, wastegates, blow off valves, boost controllers, and water meth injection components are all included alongside the core turbo and supercharger hardware so the entire boost system can be sourced together. What This Category Covers This collection includes turbochargers, turbo kits, s...
