The installation of the plastic vent tube insert is important to prevent check engine light. These procedures should be done with the turbo inlet tubes installed on the engine. It is shown off the vehicle for better illustration.

7. Locate the factory plastic tube feeding the driver’s side turbo inlet. This is the connection closer to the turbo. For additional  help, check out the video on YouTube titled: aFe POWER F 150 EcoBoost Vent Insert Tube Tech Tip Or follow the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhaYJGbtEW4

Refer to Figure D for Steps 8-9:
