Post warranty work...

[Spoilt22]

Passenger side turbo was leaking. Went in for power train warranty to replace it with a brand new one. Got it back and feels like it's a base line natural asp. V6... Is it just me or what?! Can you tell if the turbos aren't working ?

Could it be your were used to the tune you were running? Outside of that maybe a scan tool that can read boost pressure on each bank?

I had it running stock for a while before it went in for warranty work so there wasn't an issue. It just feels it is lacking power. I will look into finding someone who has that tool to check each bank but in the meantime I'll run the tune I have and see what happens

I really wish there were more gauges or a setting in the MFD were we could see things like boost pressure, AFR, or EGT .

Check your vacuum hoses on the top of the motor and make sure they are all connected. Especially the one right on top with 3 or 4 Hosea going to it. One of them has a habit of popping off and you lose significant boost...

Ok, I assume the hoses are on top under the intake cover. Anything else it may be. I'll let you know the outcome. Thanks.

14SHOCAR put up a thread and video a while ago showing where the leak that EcoBoostSHO refers to happens.

Best to secure with OEM type spring clamps, but you can use regular screw-type clamps and see if they hold.

I just took that hose off yesterday to change plugs and had the hardest time getting it off. I pulled on it to the point where I thought I might top the rubber house or break the plastic. I would have never thought one could pull like in the video and remove it that easily.

Mine popped off on its own. No wrench and the car ran okay but noticeably slower.

That's what it could be.... It doesn't have the "torquey" pick up it use to have and has a slight hesitation when pressing the gas... Mind you I know stock has hesitations and lags but this car feels different. I'll post what I find later today. Thanks for the help.

 

[EcoBoostSHO]

They didn't put gas in it for you did they? 87 octane?

No. Sent it with 3/4. Got it back with just under 3/4. 93 octane all day.

Well... It was exactly what you guys suggested. the vacuum lines and the big fat hose in front coming from the inner cooler going to the turbo wasn't even hooked up. fluid everywhere. All lines are in good condition. Clamps are all new. THANK YOU FORD LINCOLN MERCURY IN HATFIELD!!! F YOU!!!!!! They left all the plumbing for the turbos loose and the intercooler lines were all loose. Hardware that holds it down to the engine all loose as well. BIG F YOU. Thanks.

Yikes! What a major screwup! A little chat with the GM or even Ford seems in order ...

Already in the works. Thy will be done. Talking to my dealer whom I bought the car from and the dealer it went to for warranty work.

Just checked the car with mycal scanner from livernois, DTC, P0299 came up. Dealers have been notified. Will let you know what else they find. Thanks for the support guys.

Have you hooked up all the plumbing so everything works again? If so, how far have you drove the vehicle? The P0299 appears to be a code because it's not making the boost it thinks it should be making. There's a high probability it threw that code when everything was disconnected. Connect everything, reset the code, and it probably won't come back.

 

[Spoilt22]

After I hooked up all of the plumbing and hoses I drove the car for about a day and a half. Checked it just this morning and the code was there still after driving it for a day and a half. Keeping the code in the car so that dealer can see what happend. Car runs perfect now. Boosts like is should. No hesitation, no stuttering or pulsing.
