    Possible turbo failure..

    Some of you may know in January, I just finished replacing my front turbo that had failed due to the shaft snapping in half and was dumping oil into the exhaust.

    Upgraded Turbos

    I’ve been researching the effects of upgrading the turbos on my 2011 Ford Taurus SHO and I was wondering if the bigger turbos would take longer to spool up? And if so could I have them tuned to spool up faster?

    Diagnostic help- out of range turbo performance

    Any input/advice is greatly appreciated. I don't understand what turbo performance out of range means and what part is at fault. (please refer to photo) They weren't very helpful when I asked for specifics. They told me that it was just a soft/pending code and it's a turbo regulator and would...

    Stock Turbo Map

    First, forgive the Excel color theme. As I promised a while back, this is the compressor map for the stock turbos according to Ford's model in the ECU. The RPM lines aren't the highest resolution so they're definitely not perfect. Still has to be a lot more accurate than the hand-drawn one...

    Blown Turbo..Decisions....

    Hey guys new to the forum, I have a 13' PI Sedan, I've decoded my model to find it has SHO performance package option. Obviously it has the 3.5L ecoboost, and I can see why PD used them for years. That being said, I recently blew a turbo the other day heading to an apartment building fire and...

    Boost leaking?

    I was out of town and let my mom borrow the car I know mistake right there. So I come back and it’s accelerating slower than normal and it sounds like one of the turbos is not spooling up until higher RPM. Plugged in ob2 with FORScan and did a live read and boost was 16 psi max and the waste...

    Turbo noise

    Curious if anyone else has heard a strange high pitch gurgling sound coming from their turbo. The only time I hear it is when I'm building boost and next to a highway divider or on a bridge close to the wall. I've looked around on the web and have only seen a couple people talking about this...

    Turbo Pulsing

    I got my 2013 SHO a year ago and the only mod I've done is add a K&N cold air intake, it's been great so far. On the way home from work the other day I noticed some pulsing about 1500 RPM on gradual acceleration, or if I give it gas at that RPM about 55 MPH. It also seems to dumping the blow off...
