    Suspension upgrades - what are you guys running here?

    My H&R Springs have lowered the car to a point where I cannot achieve good camber and my tires are eating themselves quickly. I ordered the special bolts to increase the adjustment and brought to two different alignment shops, neither could get it close enough to not eat itself. Looking to trade...

    Accessory Interface Control Module $$

    My Bluetooth and sync system stopped working out of the blue. After a $135 diag fee from Ford, they want $1600 to replace the APIM. No thanks.

    Yes. 1. When I replaced pulled the intake and ordered gaskets, the first time, only 2 came in the pack. I looked over the existing 4 gaskets and they 'looked' fine so I installed the two new ones and reused the 4 old ones. The 'whistle' sound along with the turbo 'wine' seemed to be similar to...

    The last changes made were adding EPP charge and cold pipes, replacing intake gaskets, and sent turbos back for another adjustment and retest. Oh well, glad it's over. Car feels strong again. Putting it up for sale in a couple days.

    God no. I wish. Did you skip to the end? This was a very long issue.

    Welp, the long road is over. Got the new MAP sensor in and I have boost. Reading shows approximately 22 psi assuming this is pre-throttle body MAP (Digital readout from LivewireTS) and approximately 16 psi in manifold (mechanical gauge readout). It's dirty, but here is the most recent pic.

    H&R Springs

    I replaced the strut mounts and lubricated them with some lithium grease when I installed my H&R's. No clunks.

    Got the turbos back in, installed all new EPP piping as well as the oil cooler upgrade. Boost is back with the terrible exception of surging between 1-18psi in WOT. I believe I have an oil contaminated intake MAP sensor. I put a stock one in it and went back to a stock tune and it ran ok. Just...

    I know that blow by (leak down) is different from compression check, but I would assume that I would see a low compression reading on a cylinder if the rings were shot. I agree with you as well, I don't believe that would be enough to have a no boost situation. Yes on the BOV, inspected the...

    Turbo Failure / Upgrade

    True, it idled and ran fine, and the gauges didn't show an excessive vacuum leak. ugh. Forgive my ignorance, I'm used to pushrod V8's..All of the intake valves would have to be closed in order to put pressure in the intake and expect it to hold though, I don't know much about the valvetrain...

    Compression test was good, nothing low and the UPR catch can was normal. Side note: I drained the intercooler last night, about a teaspoon of oil came out.

    Turbo Failure / Upgrade

    Ok, they checked turbos, not really anything to shake a stick at. They ARE replacing cores and adjusting WG to spec and shipping out this week. I've thrown out all plastic piping and ordered pipes from EPP. (3 weeks out). Follow me on this for a minute. I posted a datalog in the beginning for...

    No sir. I'm just gonna order the hot pipes from EcoPowerParts and eliminate the plastic, even though I pressure tested it and it held 20psi before blowing the cap off I had on the other end. I just don't know.

    Turbo Failure / Upgrade

    Yesr, All aftermarket, bought with X-pipe with magnaflow mufflers. I removed the cats from the downpipes and the magnaflow mufflers a while back. There are two resonators still on each side (cylinder shaped). Could they be clogged, I don't know, but I'll take the entire exhaust off this...

    There won't be, but I wanted to see how freely they spun as well, in which the rear turbo spun faster and smoother than the front. Well, they are out and will be going back to Canada this week. Fingers crossed they find something wrong with them.
