    Turbo Rebuild Troubleshooting

    Using rotomaster replacement cores, so far only done the front turbo and i definitelyinstalled the new o ring. On the outside the cores are identical. As a note and a bit of an update: I can definitely tell I'm underboost right now, though I have no underboost codes....and my fuel economy has...

    Turbo Rebuild Troubleshooting

    Turbo Rebuild Troubleshooting

    Not that I can tell as of yet, used all new gaskets and it sounds enormously different than the other exhaust leaks I've had. Literally like a weedwacker string flying through the air. I've looked all over the web for the same/similar issue and no dice.

    New Owner 2011 non-pp

    Yeah thats the route I plan on taking her I think, she's a daily but it's a pretty soft drive and I'm "mechanically inclined" and have plenty of professional connections when it comes to information, parts, and labor that's out of my skill set. I think there's a lot of potential to really bring...

    New Owner 2011 non-pp

    Hey all, as chance would have it I've found myself behind the wheel of a 2011 SHO and oh boy, i think ive fallen in love. Had little to no knowledge of this car before purchase, and it was the only vehicle in my price range after the old Lincoln threw in the towel. She's got 140k, a small bit of...
