A Full Performance Upgrade for Your EcoBoost F150
If you have spent time driving a 2015-2016 F150 with the 3.5L EcoBoost, you already know the engine responds well to upgrades. The Phase 4 Performance Package takes that idea further by improving several key areas that affect how the engine builds and delivers power. Instead of focusing on just one modification, this package improves airflow into the turbos, increases cooling efficiency in the charge system, and adds custom tuning that ties everything together. The result is a truck that feels stronger throughout the rev range and more responsive when you press the throttle. Whether you are pulling onto the highway, towing a trailer, or simply enjoying the power of the EcoBoost platform, this package helps the truck perform at a higher level while keeping everyday drivability intact.
S&B Cold Air Intake for Better Turbo Airflow
The first step in improving performance is giving the turbochargers better airflow, which is exactly what the S&B Cold Air Intake is designed to do. The factory intake works well enough, but it limits how much air the turbos can draw in. S&B replaces those restrictive parts with a larger sealed air box, smoother intake tubing, and a high flow oiled cotton filter. This setup allows the engine to pull in cooler air with less restriction, which helps the turbos build boost more efficiently. In real driving situations, that usually means quicker throttle response and a stronger pull as the truck accelerates. The reusable filter is designed to capture dirt while still allowing excellent airflow, and it can be cleaned and reused instead of replaced during regular maintenance.
aFe Intercooler and Tubing Kit for Cooler Boost
Once the turbochargers compress the air, that air travels through the intercooler and charge pipes before entering the engine. Cooling that air and moving it efficiently through the system plays a big role in overall performance. The aFe BladeRunner intercooler and tubing kit improves both parts of the process. The larger bar and plate intercooler is designed to cool the compressed air more effectively, which helps the engine maintain consistent power during hard acceleration or towing. At the same time, the upgraded aluminum hot side and cold side pipes replace the restrictive factory plastic tubing. These larger diameter pipes allow air to travel more smoothly from the turbos to the intercooler and then into the engine. The combination improves airflow efficiency, which can help the turbos respond quicker and support stronger power delivery.
SCT BDX Tuner with 5-Star Custom Tunes
To make sure all of these upgrades work together properly, the package includes the SCT BDX handheld tuner loaded with custom calibrations from 5 Star Tuning. The BDX connects to the truck through the OBD-II port and allows you to install performance tunes designed specifically for the 3.5L EcoBoost. These tunes adjust boost pressure, fuel delivery, ignition timing, and transmission behavior so the engine can take full advantage of the improved airflow and intercooler efficiency. Drivers typically notice stronger acceleration, smoother shifting, and better overall drivability. The BDX also functions as a useful monitoring tool that can display live engine data, read and clear trouble codes, and store the factory tune if you ever want to return the truck to stock. Together with the intake and intercooler upgrades, the custom tuning helps bring the entire package together for a balanced and noticeable performance improvement.
Vehicle Fitment: 2015, 2016 Ford F150 3.5L EcoBoost
Kit Includes:
- S&B Cold Air Intake System (Oiled Filter) - 75-5081
- aFe Bladerunner Intercooler & Tubing Package - 46-20212-B
- SCT BDX Tuner (5-Star Custom Tunes) - 40490
Warranty vs. Non-Warranty Tune Note: there is no difference in function, horsepower, or torque between Warrantied Custom Tunes and Non-Warrantied Custom Tunes. The only difference between the two, whatsoever, is that Warrantied Tunes will have less parameters (i.e. tire size, gear ratio, etc) open to end-user adjustment.
Off-Road Exhaust Systems: 5-Star can no longer provide custom tuning for off-road exhaust systems that delete catalytic converters. 5-Star can only tune for catted exhaust systems. However, 5-Star WILL NOT disable your rear oxygen sensors, which may result in a check engine light.
