That's what I would do. The bang for the buck for a good tune can't be beat. And in Phoenix (used to live in Scottsdale and Tucson), the intercooler is a must.

You don't need it.

It's very hard to say. I've seen a few dyno results, but they are apples to oranges since the mod list and fueling is very different. A completely stock ST on 93 can make around 440 WHP. I've seen the modded turbos make as much as 560 WHP on 104 octane gasoline with a LOT of other mods. I...

Yeah, right.

I'm just pointing out you can call a local parts department, order the part, and pick it up when it comes in if they don't have it in stock (which they probably don't). But, if you're OCD, by all means, you can pay a lot more.

For something like this, the shipping is almost as much as the part!

Ford Parts Department?

@M1nd64m3, while I think you may not have targeted the right vacuum source, for you and others on this thread, here is some info on the "missing" BOVs for Explorer STs. https://www.explorerst.org/threads/2021-st-bov.2576/post-33735 https://www.explorerst.org/threads/2021-st-bov.2576/post-41797

I have a Star White as well, and I like the blue. Unfortunately, the kids call mine the "Space Ghost", so I have to keep some red!

Do a search for FENG delete on this site. All the info you need.

If you already have the other Steeda components, you should consider their springs as well.

Not picking on you, but the most relevant info in that comparison are required modifications (as you suggest), and the price! In reality, surface area and volume are completely irrelevant in an intercooler comparison. A true measurement of each would require a highly controlled environment to...

If you just want an opinion, due to the amount of engineering and testing, I'd buy the complete bars and shocks for the PIU. If I wanted it lowered, I'd buy the Steeda components.

I can appreciate someone putting this info together, but it's in no way a scientific comparison. I'm more than a bit skeptical of those specs, and what they mean. For example, how is volume measured? The only practical way would be to buy each intercooler and measure via liquid the actual...

You have to look at the suspension as a system. The engineers also are trying to satisfy the masses (as @jrgoffin ) says, but the bars are not the only component. The shock valving also plays a part in the response rate of the suspension; no one seems to be mentioning that. One can't just...

It doesn't work until the engine reaches operating temp. It also won't work if the battery is low, or the oil life is low. Could it be any of those?

An exhaust leak can definitely lead to backfires, especially under deceleration. Check all the fasteners on the exhaust system, see if you can hear any audible sounds from the joints at idle. Probably not the A/F ratio or misfires as I would expect DTCs.

I think you need to restate the problem in words that can be understood. I don't know how a car sounds when it's "struggling to get gas through". As far as "it was breathing but every 3 seconds it would sound like the battery would die from the rear" I can only say "what?". This sounds more...

No one called you a "punk", and you're right, I don't know anything about you- other than you're not willing to listen. I know the very first thing I do when someone tries to help me is that I ignore their advice, become defensive, and reject anything that doesn't fit my own narrative about the...
