I tried to get mine out the other day. After several minutes I said **** on it. Took the accordian hose off, disconected the MAP sensor, took off the filter minder, took off the front 2 inch hose. It may sound like a lot, but all that took less than 5 minutes. Then the entire assymbly pulls right out. With everything out gives you a good chance to inspect the wiring out around there. Slips back in just as easy.

I took my air filter out and never put it back in. I installed a new air box and filter. I got 2 MORE GPM and it runs a lot better.

Should've looked here first!!

Once I saw that you disconnected the MAP, minder and 2-inch hose and everything slipped back in easily, I gave it a go. I also removed a small breather hose running from the radiator back to a reservoir on the firewall that was in the way.
Thanks for the advice...worked like a charm!!

Coulda been a 5.4 or a 6.8 gasser too, that's why it's always a good idea to list your vehicle with the necessary specs...trim, 4-wheel or 2-wheel, size engine and type, etc...in your sig.
Either way, this thread is 5 and a half years old.

If they've been broke long, better be saving for a new turbo (and maybe more) as well.
The Ford AIS intake (by Donaldson) is the best choice IMHO. At under $200, it filters the air better than most options available and flows plenty of air for all but the most built engines.
