Hey guys, been a while. Been back in the F150 game for the last couple years now (just been quiet). Long story short, my current truck I bought used a few years ago, still have low mileage, got a great deal on it, love it, but like my last Ford, it definitely has its occasional quirks.
-2016 3.5L Ecoboost-
I discovered this particular issue when I bought the truck and found it broken, covered in JB Weld. I was so thrilled about that. Did what I could and made it work on a very tight budget, using apparently good superglue (lasted a couple years) and zip ties. Well, it finally gave out and I’m back to square one. I finally am no longer pinching penny’s quite as much and want to actually replace this thing.
My only problem is, I have no idea what this is called or where to find the part. Anyone able to identify this? Didn’t figure I needed to circle the pics for anyone. The zip ties and atrociousness should lead one straight to the part.

Does that piece unscrew from the inlet tube? The piece that connects to the small tubing is the one that’s broken off. If not, man that design kills me.
There is no replacement part for that. You need to replace the whole tube.
Wow. Copy that. That seems like a terrible design by Ford, given my issue and seeing how it could easily be broken off (although I didn’t break it and not sure how it was originally broken). Oh well. That’s just rather frustrating.
I do appreciate the part being identified though, sir. Thank you very much. Looks like I will be purchasing that piece here soon.
BTW, where do the two smaller hoses go to. The EB variant is kind of new to me.
I wish I could tell you. I can try to get a couple pics in the morning for you. I am not familiar with much in regards to these smaller engines with turbos. But it was a deal I couldn’t pass up. Glad I didn’t. But I could probably tell you more if it was my old 5.4 or the 5.0. Anyhow. I’ll see what I can get for you in the morning.

A few weeks ago someone had the same problem, but they had an older Ecoboost with a slightly different design.
