Full-Race 2017-2020 Ford F-150 & Raptor Turbocharger Coolant Line Upgrade Kit
The Full-Race Turbocharger Coolant Line Upgrade Kit for the 2017-2020 F-150 and Raptor is engineered to resolve the infamous reliability issue of leaky turbocharger coolant lines in the GEN2 3.5L EcoBoost engines.
The OEM slip-fit rubber bushing used in Ford’s original design to contain the hot turbocharger’s coolant lacks clamping force. This causes the o-rings to wear over time, resulting in coolant leaks. The universally accepted fix has been to remove and replace these OEM fittings and lines with each failure–until now. Our kit replaces these with robust AN fittings, providing a permanent, leak-free solution that eliminates the problem.
Designed to outlast the life of your truck, we’ve meticulously crafted this kit with high-quality materials that offer superior resistance to oxidation, weather, and heat cycling. Capable of withstanding a wide temperature range from -65°F to +350°F (177°C) and a maximum working pressure of 70 psi, this kit guarantees high-pressure durability, making it an ideal upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their F-150 or Raptor’s reliability and durability.

FAQ
Why should I upgrade my F-150’s turbocharger coolant lines?
If you’ve experienced the frustration of coolant leaks from your GEN2 EcoBoost turbocharger lines, you’ll understand the need for a permanent fix. Ford’s original design with slip-fit rubber bushings often leads to coolant leaks due to wear over time. Our upgrade kit replaces these with traditional AN fittings, providing a permanent solution to this problem.
Additionally, when removing the turbocharger to upgrade or service, the OEM coolant lines are complicated to work with and tend to get damaged upon removal, necessitating replacement upon reinstallation. Our kit’s robust design prevents this issue, making maintenance much more accessible.
What are the benefits of using AN fittings over the OEM fittings?
AN (“Army-Navy”) fittings are manufactured to MIL-F-5509, ensuring the highest reliability and performance in military aviation and aerospace applications.
These fittings provide superior durability, high-temperature tolerance, and exceptional resistance to oxidation, weather, and heat cycling. They eliminate the weak points of the OEM fittings, ensuring better mechanical properties and more reliable performance under extreme conditions.
Can the Full-Race Coolant Line Kit be used with other aftermarket parts?
Absolutely! Our kit is compatible with most aftermarket turbochargers, including the Garrett PowerMax Stage II, and OEM options. For specific fitment concerns, please get in touch with us.
Is professional installation required?
While the Full-Race Turbocharger Coolant Line Upgrade Kit for the 2017-2020 Ford F-150 & Raptor is designed for ease of installation, we strongly recommend professional installation.
Does installing this upgrade affect my vehicle’s warranty?
Modifying your F-150 or Raptor with aftermarket parts can affect its warranty. Consult your warranty agreement or dealer to understand the impact of these repairs on your coverage.
