If I were you, I'd chose a couple of options you'd be happy with, and then browse the classifieds and pick up one of them used. there's always a couple for sale. You can save SO much money, most of the popular brands all perform roughly the same, and its not a wear and tear part where mileage...

On my original factory block with cylinder 3 on its way out, on E30, boosting it every day, I used to drain 1-2 oz out every 1000 miles. On my rebuilt bottom end I do it every oil change and there's 1 oz in there at the most. I don't punish it nearly as hard as I did before. Its going to depend...

I wouldn't start loading up extra parts on any canned tune. The stock turbo is already maxed out with your current setup. Summer is coming and charge temps are going to start skyrocketing too. If you're looking to go full bolt on and stay there, I'd get a good, one-time custom tune with multiple...

I say this with all respect, we all know what dealerships SHOULD do in regards to warranty work, but we have enough data history to see that's not always the case. However, as an owner with aftermarket parts, you should always cover your own ass and put as many stock parts back on the car as...

sorry, I had to 'lol' I moved to the facebook groups mainly when this forum dumped Taptalk. It was inevitable but now the facebook groups are a cesspool of stupidity. Now I just peruse both silently, looking for anything new or feedback from knowledgeable people.

Also depends upon gearing as well. I have a 6 speed with the performance pack (shorter gear ratio) so highway suffers a bit more. The slowest I can stand is 65 on the freeway and that is grazing the bleeding edge of 30mpg. All downhill from there. I also have 19'' 275's all the way around.

The real question is what kind of miles those 9,000+ miles are. I bought a pre-owned 2015 Eco with 3,000 miles on it. Big mistake. Dealer demo, test drive whore, whatever it was used for it ran through oil like a son of a bitch and had a bad 3rd cylinder. I can only imagine how many times that...

Could just be the direct injection clacking.

Common problem especially in FL when those parts work overtime. Compressors and condensers are one thing. If the evaporator core goes, that's a boat load of labor as its one of the least serviceable parts to get to in most modern cars. Usually the entire console and dash has to come out. Look up...

Do you have a physical shop in Cocoa that would install a Barton or MGW?

Did you try another dealer?

You seriously can't find one at any Lowes, Home Depot or True Value/Ace???

Never heard about the clutch being the culprit. Can I read that anywhere else besides from Yolo? Interesting though. Just weird how it is a night and day difference, I never had it once in 18,000 miles and a ton of drag passes. I always read that it was due to the shifter being slightly...

After getting the bottom end rebuilt from Ford, I'm getting pretty consistent 3rd gear lockout at high RPMs, and occasionally 4th gear too. Never had this issue before. My gearbox was great. I've heard the old MT82's had this issue a lot but its been ironed out for the most part, since. My...

Intercooler & E30 tune? This is pretty much my setup. Low profile and loved it. 12's, maybe 11's with an auto. Total torque monster on the street so get some tires.

Probably the best way to do it and use a good exhaust shop with a couple low profile mufflers for a custom fit. If not, there will be ridiculously shitty, un-muffled 4banger sounds coming from it, and you may be the subject of some ridicule from guys with bigger engines, but it will look great...

Has anyone confirmed that OP's car did not drop on him? Did this ever get fixed? HoosierDaddy

It really would only start to become a problem once the miles begin to rack up and the car is long past warranty. Its not an immediate reliability or QC issue. Ford says its ok, yeah, no shit, why wouldn't they? Don't think they've had to warranty many cars due to 'carbon buildup' do you? It...

Looks like top quality.
