This is Texas weather so it was 103 degrees and about 120-130 charge temps on the pull. Imagine what it will do in cooler weather. This thread is intended to show how much more power you can make if you upgrade your to a reasonable downpipe when upgrading your turbo. This is Maperformance Catted...
Now that I'm running the Vargas S2 I am noticing about a 10-15 degree higher charge air temps especially at idle. Do you guys wrap your downpipe or even look at a turbo blanket? Is that worthwhile or a waste of money. It is only mid 90's in TX with close to 60% humidity. Going to be close to 100...
Impressions.
Dyno tuned on e85 at 95 degrees and 45% humidity I made 365whp and close to 400 tq with 135+ Charge air temps. Texas heat got me. Seems low but the same dyno had a customer on e30 running 320(No idea what his bolt-ons are) I had asked for a competitive tune, but also safe.
I can...
Last weekend I had installed Steeda Progressive springs on my PP Premium Ecoboost Mustang.
Results:
The ride is about the same as stock with normal driving and cruising. I couldn't tell a difference.
When you get over 70 and around a few corners the body roll is drastically decreased. So...
I ordered the Organic Single Disk Clutch/Flywheel setup from Adam at Tune+. I hope to get this installed in the next two weeks and I will do a full review of this as well.
Has anyone had issues with the side markers.
I purchased mine from Lethal Performance and two of my led lights on the board went out. I chatted with Lethal not even on the phone just over email and they are sending new ones outs. Good customer service from Lethal jumping on it. Just...
Install took about 45 minutes, 24mm, Small flathead screwdriver(I didn't use a pick) and T20 screw driver. I did have to go back and spend another 10 minutes to take off the airbag again as I didn't have the leather fully under the trim. Simple mistake, should of got it t he first time around...
Anyone make better exhaust hangers or universal bushings for the ecoboost. I recently went with a Diff Lockout bushing kit and Cradle lockout bushing kit. I can deal with the rattling from the drivetrain as that I expected a little bit and i'm getting more comfortable with it, but the exhaust...
So the only suspension mods I have are BMR Diff Lockout and BMR Cradle lockout. I have a PP performance MT ECO. I am wanting to get thicker rear swaybar and also better springs. I'm not looking to do extreme lowering. I don't want to sacrifice daily driving experience, I only would be...
I have to admit I use a shop or two to do work I'm not comfortable doing or really have good tools to do. I'd rather pay a little bit extra from known good shops to get it done right the first time than end up breaking things or costing more money to fix what I broke.
I can do simple things...
Trying to find information about this.
How often do you guys use the Reset KAM feature in Diagnostics.
I have only done this once when I changed from a stock Air intake to a MAPerformance CAI.
Do you HAVE to do this when you switch from a 93 tune to an e30 tune?
I've only been asked to do it...
I'm in Frisco, Texas.
Looking for gas stations in Frisco, Richardson, and Plano that have great quality 93.
Anyone have a go to gas station that has proven high quality 93 octane

I had the BBK throttle body on my 2011 v6, and it did indeed add better throttle response as well as a little bit better power between 2k-4k.
I'm wondering if there is any value in a larger diameter throttle body for the ecoboost and what that value would be.
I only saw one other post that...
Went from 90 something degrees to about 72 in the last 2 days here in DFW.
All the power I lost from the hot weather has come right back to me today. Sadly I'm having to work today. I'd rather be doing spirited runs on the roads today. Wish this weather would last over the weekend.

I've had my Ecoboost Premium PP Magnetic Metallic for about 5 weeks now.
So far I've done the following.
1. Cobb stage 1 tune
2. Black pony on the front grill
3. Rear quarter panel light tint
4. 50 Years anniversary shift knob
I'm in Frisco, Texas. It's hot as hell so I'm really interested in...
