No worries! I am used to older motors too. When I first looked under the hood of my Focus ST (a 2.0L Ecoboost), I couldn't find the BPV anywhere, until I finally realized it was integrated into the compressor housing, and wondering where the heck the exhaust manifold was :p. The torque...

Looking forward to seeing the progress on this! Will you be doing the fab work? When will it begin? What kind of goals do you have for the build?

It's been about 2k miles, still no sign of ASS returning.

@TMac I have read your thread and appreciate all the detailed info in it, but didn't want to clutter it up, as it is your build thread. :) Have you compared any of the newer G45 and up turbos too?

The 3.0 Ecoboost has a "headifold" design, where the manifold is internal, and meets the turbo at one combined port: Personally, I would love to have a G series on my Explorer, or maybe two of them.

I don't intend to upgrade the brakes, so I painted my calipers.

Turbo upgrades similar to the CR/Pure were used on the Focus ST, where the internals would get upgraded, sometimes the housing would be ported too. The stock turbo size was so small that it generated way too much heat with the upgraded parts. While it made more power, it also led to issues to...

I know that there are upgrades available from CR Performance and Pure, that basically modify the stock turbos. Do these generate significantly more heat than the stock ones, since they are still using the stock frame? Are there any other options in development? I'm no fabricator, but I...

Ecoboosts use a torque targeting strategy to make power. Older cars didn't use this strategy, and if it flowed better, more power was made. These cars are a little more complex in that regard. The tune is what limits the power. The car is configured to produce the stock level of power based...

I haven't done a ton of in depth research on the options out there, but they all seem sufficient for any amount of heat the stock turbos can put out. The cores all look very similarly sized. I would bet that they are even sufficient for bigger turbos too. It just seems like a matter of...

You might get a headlamp fault warning. Try it!

I have 5/32" on the other 3. I ended up finding a used Pirelli scorpion zero with 5/32" remaining . Hopefully it works

Today I found a bulge and a small leak on the passenger rear tire. Right on the scorpion! Only 20k miles on the Pirellis. Guess I gotta buy 4 new tires.

I had the 3D Maxpider in my old car. They were nice. The foot area under the pedals does wear out quickly though, like most mats. They now offer a replacement piece for that part.

It's on his wish list. Unfortunately there is no way to change it right now.

It's been a few hundred miles, my auto stop/start has not re-enabled itself. I have also never pressed the button at all to toggle it. Seems like this is a pretty good solution.

I wouldn't think so. Isn't that just a site to manually update your sync version? The BSOD seems to be independent of Sync. It's an issue with the camera system and its components themselves (camera, module). But who knows, not even Ford knows anymore!

Did you get it installed yet?

Has anybody heard both in person? What are the differences in sound level, tone, drone?

Rock auto has the 3d mats for much less than retail. I wish I had went with those, but my smartliners are fine.
