    HKS SSQV BOV Review

    I was worried a BOV would put me in the Paul Walker Fast n Furious category. It’s not loud around town when driving normal. At lower levels of boost it’s barely noticeable in the cabin. I installed the purple sound tuning insert to give it a lower sound. It has a nice low hiss. Install was...

    Help. Whistle Sound After Intercooler Install

    So when at 6-8 pounds of boost and up I get a little whistle sound like letting air out of a balloon slowly. It’s not loud but noticeable. I’m steady on the throttle and boost is building. Should I just tighten clamps? I have HPS clamps and connector hoses on the Ultimate Performance IC. HKS...

    Levels Performance Intercooler

    I would advise against using the Levels IC. I purchased this locally from a forum member. I received the IC only as shipped to the original purchaser. Levels performance have not returned calls or emails regarding the instructions or extra parts required to install their product. I’ll keep...

    4.5” Exhaust Tips

    Anyone know if these fit? My ST is at the dealer getting the cam solenoids fixed so I can’t measure. I currently have 4” MBRP tips but I’m looking at forged CF or blue anodized with forged CF. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tire Pressure

    Anyone using the recommended tire pressure from tiresize.com or similar calculator site? I’m running the recommended 29psi cold for my 305/40/22 setup. So far so good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Air Box Mods?

    Has anyone modified the stock air box? I was reading some other threads and noticed one post mentioned that opening the box led to increased power on the dyno. Other comments stated the stock box was a good design to begin with. Thoughts? Yes I’m trying to escape paying $600 for a CAI. I want...

    aFe Intake -vs- Whipple Intercooler -vs- Downpipe

    I'm struggling with the $600 cost for the aFe Momentum GT CAI. After looking at the dyno results I'm not sure the extra power it makes is worth the cost. There's already a K&N filter in my ST now. I have an exhaust on the way. I'm currently tuned for 93oct and plan to run e50. From what I...

    BORA Spacers

    Anyone have trouble dealing with "Motorsport Technology"? It's been a month and a day and I've seen nothing. I went to their site and tried to get a status update and the receipt they sent me has no invoice number. It just says "website". So I can't even get a status update. E-mail sent. The...

    Dual Port BOV

    Anyone have this? I don't want to be "that guy" needing attention with a loud BOV in heavy traffic or in populated areas at lower speeds. Does it vent to atmosphere during normal driving around town?

    Can Reverse Brake Assist Be Tuned Off?

    Can the “Reverse Brake Assist” be tuned to “Off” as a default setting? I ride mountain bikes frequently in the non winter months. The bikes go on a hitch mounted rack. If I don’t turn the brake assist off every time I start the vehicle with the rack mounted then I get an emergency brake...

    Is The Cold Start Rattle Normal?

    When starting the engine after it has been off for a couple hours I have a cold start rattle for 2-5 seconds. It goes away and there is no MIL or malfunction codes. It's not the exhaust. It's coming from the top of the motor. Do all 3.0 TT motors do this or do I have the cam phaser issue? I...

    Newbie

    Last week I traded my 2019 F150 in for a very low mile 2020 ST in metallic blue. I have a 6 seater with the $1500 performance option amongst others. I’m very happy with it as it allows me to have a sporty ride and still get my mountain bikes to the trailhead and go camping. I currently have...
