Genuine Ford 3C3Z-6K854-AA Turbocharger Inlet/Up Pipe
Product Description
The Genuine Ford 3C3Z-6K854-AA is an OEM Turbocharger Inlet Pipe, also commonly referred to as an Up Pipe or Turbo “Y” Pipe. This critical exhaust component is located on the passenger side (right side) of the engine and is responsible for channeling hot exhaust gases from the exhaust manifold into the turbocharger. Its integrity is vital for maintaining proper turbocharger boost, engine performance, and fuel efficiency. Cracks or leaks in this pipe will lead to a loss of boost pressure, reduced engine power, increased turbo lag, and excessive exhaust noise.
Choosing this genuine Ford part guarantees a perfect fit, material durability under extreme heat, and reliable performance that meets the stringent requirements of the 6.0L Powerstroke diesel engine.

Installation & Symptoms of Failure
Common Symptoms of a Failing Turbo Inlet/Up Pipe:
Loss of Power and Boost: Significant reduction in engine performance and turbocharger response.
Loud Exhaust Whistle or Hissing: Audible leaking of exhaust gases from a crack or failed gasket.
Excessive Soot Around Connections: Visible black soot near the pipe's joints indicates an exhaust leak.
Poor Fuel Economy: Engine efficiency drops due to disrupted turbo operation.

Some aftermarket kits may include necessary installation hardware.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this the same as a turbocharger “Y” pipe?
A: Yes. This part is often called a “Y” pipe because it connects the exhaust manifold (one leg) to the turbocharger inlet, forming a Y-shaped pathway for exhaust gases.
Q: Why would I need to replace this pipe?
A: The original factory pipes can develop cracks or leaks over time due to extreme heat cycles and vibration common in diesel engines. Replacing it restores proper exhaust flow and turbocharger efficiency.
Q: My truck is a 2005 Ford F-250 6.0L. Will this part fit?
A: You must check your VIN. Part number 3C3Z-6K854-AA is primarily listed for 2003-2004 models. For 2005-2007 vehicles, a different part number (like 3C3Z-6K854-A) may be applicable, as shown in compatibility charts. Always confirm with your VIN.
