The aFe 46-20148-B is the single hot-side tube for the 2011–2016 Ford F-250/F-350 6.7L turbo-diesel Power Stroke with the original intercooler. It is charge piping, not an intercooler core or a complete cooling-system kit.
| Years | Model | Exact engine / requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 2011–2016 | Ford F-250 / F-350 Super Duty | 6.7L turbo-diesel Power Stroke V8; original intercooler and exact original quick-connect/sensor arrangement |
46-20148-B: The current exact primary page and individual component instructions cover 2011–2016 F-250/F-350 6.7L Power Stroke; the old 2011–2015 title was incomplete. Existing model-level applications still require the actual 6.7L diesel and exact installed connections; no F-450/F-550 or later-generation application is inferred. The exact October 2019 hot manual lists one 3-inch ID x 5-inch coupling and 60mm ID O-ring. Do not substitute the 5.5-inch coupling or core coolant instructions from the different intercooler-and-tube document linked under the combined pipe listing. Retain the original metal turbo clip; its opening faces downwards.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer Part Number | 46-20148-B |
| Configuration | Charge piping and exact listed installation components; no intercooler core |
| Tubing / flow path | One nominal 3-inch hot tube; the opposite side and intercooler core remain separate. |
| Finish | Wrinkle-black powder-coated aluminum tubing; stainless steel describes the clamps, not the tubes. |
| Clamps / fastening | The exact component manual provides no numerical clamp or fastener torque. Check all connections after 50–100 miles. Clamp diameters, screw threads and tool sizes are not torque values. |
| Original sensors / seals | Original turbo metal retaining clip is recovered after removing its plastic retainer; the clip opening faces downwards in the adapter. Supplied seal is 60mm ID; no new sensor is listed. |
| Emissions | The current exact pages and linked component manuals state these products are not CARB exempt and are unavailable for purchase in California or use on vehicles registered with the California DMV. |
aFe Power develops application-specific intake, filtration, exhaust, cooling, tuning, suspension, drivetrain, and truck-performance components supported by product testing and documented installation requirements.
An engine- and year-specific BladeRunner charge-pipe kit, not a complete intercooler, turbocharger or air intake.
How many tubes and which side does this kit include?is the single hot-side tube for the 2011–2016 Ford F-250/F-350 6.7L turbo-diesel Power Stroke with the original intercooler. It is charge piping, not an intercooler core or a complete cooling-system kit.
Are the airflow claims guaranteed horsepower gains?No. The manufacturer reports side-specific flow comparisons; actual engine power, charge temperature and boost depend on the complete setup.
Which original couplings, vent or sensor components are retained?Original turbo metal retaining clip is recovered after removing its plastic retainer; the clip opening faces downwards in the adapter. Supplied seal is 60mm ID; no new sensor is listed.
What is the clamp torque?The exact component manual provides no numerical clamp or fastener torque. Check all connections after 50–100 miles. Clamp diameters, screw threads and tool sizes are not torque values.
Are all manual contents and installation steps consistent?The current exact primary page and individual component instructions cover 2011–2016 F-250/F-350 6.7L Power Stroke; the old 2011–2015 title was incomplete. Existing model-level applications still require the actual 6.7L diesel and exact installed connections; no F-450/F-550 or later-generation application is inferred. The exact October 2019 hot manual lists one 3-inch ID x 5-inch coupling and 60mm ID O-ring. Do not substitute the 5.5-inch coupling or core coolant instructions from the different intercooler-and-tube document linked under the combined pipe listing. Retain the original metal turbo clip; its opening faces downwards.
Does a threaded port include a water/methanol system?No. An accessory port does not include or universally approve a controller, nozzle, pump, sensor or injection system. Seal unused ports as instructed.
Is this kit CARB exempt?The current exact pages and linked component manuals state these products are not CARB exempt and are unavailable for purchase in California or use on vehicles registered with the California DMV.
