Nice results! Are there any other mods that aren't listed? CAI, exhaust, downpipes, etc?

Don't get prickly about it! Under vacuum condition, the ST PCV system draws blow-by into the intake manifold where it can be re-burnt. Under boost, it draws it into the air filter housing where the gasses are also re-burnt. A system that vents to the atmosphere completely defeats the PCV...

The whole idea of the PCV system is to capture blow-by gasses and recirculate them through the combustion chamber to restrict emissions by re-burning any leftover hydrocarbons. A catch can is installed in order to try to capture any oil that is part of the blow-by to stop it from ending up in...

Well, CC will certainly "lift" when going down a hill. Since the 90's ECMs have incorporated specific pinouts (or canbus notifications in later models) for CC operation. That "information" allows the ECM to tailor the converter's lockup operation, to cut injectors when descending hills, and to...

The delays are everywhere folks. Buy used, or be patient. https://autos.yahoo.com/ford-broncos-piling-again-michigan-173700591.html

My girlfriend once took my Audi TT on a trip to New Mexico to visit her friend. A week later I started smelling what I thought was anti-freeze. After searching in vain for a leak, I found she had forgotten the gift of 3 lbs of grilled frozen Hatch chilies that were left in the floorboard of...

It would be very interesting if you could make a pull without the air filter installed. That's just to demonstrate the optimum that could be realized for those looking at CAI systems.

Look on the bright side, at least you didn't put out several hundred dollars for a 2mm larger throttle body, a Ram-Air snorkel, a Diffy-Stiffy, or a Power Tune device!

Thanks for the responses!

Obviously, I'm not familiar with Ford's software, but I'm interested in others' experiences. I don't have Sirius, never signed up for or downloaded the Ford Pass app, nor am I being billed for anything. I'm very selective about my privacy (at least as far as I can be). But it's interesting...

Just addressing the "forward facing Ram Air" comments. Ram Air sounds nice, but the math shows maybe a 0.7 psi gain at 200 mph. And that would be with a very well designed forward facing scoop! The fact is that what most cars have is a Cold Air intake. The air temperature has a much greater...

I could not agree more.

@GearHead_1 tried this and found the wiring harness doesn't exist anymore for the ambient lights. IIRC, another member reported he did find a way, but had to build his own harness for power and ground from another source.

Just curious why you didn't use Tow mode? I'm with @GearHead_1 on this. Gas mileage isn't about the lowest RPM, it's about BSFC which varies under load/RPM. I'd use Tow mode which would allow the programming that's built in to predict what youre doing so it can reduce the load on the engine...

No, no I don't. But you do you!

First, before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, if you want a blow-off valve because you like the sound, go for it. But if you look at my posts, it has gnawed at me that people are not only adding BOVs, but also talking about "less lag in operation" and "better driveability". Now let's...

Mast bump anyone?

IF it is the seal, once it warms up everything tightens up and it's not noticeable. There have been at least three turbine seal problems I'm aware of and all of them had the same symptoms you describe. Starting it cold at the dealership is a good start. Advise them of the possibility that if...

It's only coming from the left side from what I see. An intelligent guess would be a turbine seal on the driver's side. Take the video to your service writer and also involve the owner if possible. Show them the evidence. A good tech would make this diagnosis. And no, it wouldn't throw any...
