WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford RV Cutaway, 2008 Ford Econoline, 2008 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Only tighten the turbocharger inlet Y-pipe fasteners with hand tools or damage to the turbocharger inlet pipe may occur.
CAUTION:
When installing the turbocharger inlet Y-pipe into the vehicle, do not bend or twist the flex bellows or damage to the flex bellows may occur.
- If the turbocharger inlet Y-pipe was separated, install the gasket and loosely install the bolts and new nuts.
- Position the turbocharger inlet Y-pipe into the vehicle.
- Position the turbocharger-to-turbocharger inlet Y-pipe clamp.
- Install the new metal gasket on the EGR cooler and align the turbocharger inlet Y-pipe to the EGR cooler. Position the clamp.
- Apply anti-seize lubricant to the turbocharger inlet Y-pipe-to-exhaust manifold bolts, then install the bolts and new nuts.
- Tighten the turbocharger-to-turbocharger inlet Y-pipe clamp.
- Tighten to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft).
- Tighten the turbocharger inlet Y-pipe-to-EGR cooler clamp.
- Tighten to 6 Nm (53 lb-in).
- Make sure the turbocharger inlet Y-pipe is correctly aligned to the exhaust manifolds. Using hand tools, alternately tighten the nuts to draw the turbocharger inlet Y-pipe to the exhaust manifold. There should be an equal gap spacing between the turbocharger inlet Y-pipe and the exhaust manifold flange at the top and bottom bolts.
- Alternately tighten the turbocharger inlet Y-pipe-to-exhaust manifold bolts.
