Has anyone had any experience with, or heard anything about these?

I'm curious to see what the benefits are, if any on a stock head and turbo. Especially since the price isn't too bad.
Possibly different transmission fluid could help? I just swapped to royal purple on Sunday and it feels smoother but I haven't tried a full out acceleration run, just some 'spirited commuting'.
I got spoiler delete because the PP came that way. Looking at pictures online the base spoiler doesn't look that good anyway. I would rather the clean look or possibly a more aggressive or functional spoiler if I was going to put holes in the trunk.
I didn't drive the ecoboost without the PP but I did drive the V6 without it and it felt kind of wobbly and the brakes were no where near as good as the PPs. I have never felt the $2K was ill spent. Better tires, better suspension, more aggressive gearing, and the gauges look nice too.
Can you reach the oil filter and see if it's on tight? These cars are too new to know if there's issues with the original gasket sticking. I replaced my oil myself at ~750 miles and it the gasket didn't stick but that's a very short change interval.
I like the idea of the strap. I'm not a fan of the Accord one, seems like too much effort to pull hard enough to make sure it closes all the way while not hard enough you can get your hand out in time. I miss the handle set into the edge of the trunk lid on my S4.
Just looking at the pictures the check valves with the stage 2 don't seem to be on par with the valves you sell individually. How well do they function in regards to ones like this http://www.boombaracing.com/check-valve-12-mm-1-2/
It seems like when modified these cars are having issues with...
For clarification I only meant that he was right in that all had LSD. I haven't done enough research into the style. I though the ecoboost had a clutch type w/20% lockup but I can't remember now where I found that at.
My understanding is that LSD is the broader category, basically meaning it has something to keep it from being an open slip, while not being completely locked all the time.
I think the V6 and non PP ecoboost have an open slip, the PP ecoboost has a clutch based LSD w/20% lockup/ratio(not sure...
Looks awesome. I wonder how it handles compared to the stock PP or other suspension setups. I always think of air suspension as only being for looks but I know it can potentially be a performance upgrade.
I could be wrong but I think you would have to take the timing chain cover off as well as the timing chain.
If I ever get to the point of opening up my engine I will definitely be adding this but don't foresee myself opening it up just to install this unless I start hearing about others having...
Aftermarket cams allow changes to how the air flows into the cylinders. Typically they make it so the valves are open further and longer. Turbos add a different requirement. For naturally aspirated engines you want overlap, where the intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time vs forced...
I guess I'm the dissenting voice. I actually like this... not as much as on a V6 or V8 but this is the closest a modern car will get to the old school loping idle.
I got a 6.8 and two 6.5s this Saturday launching between 2500 & 3000 and shifting at 6500. Had advanctrac off and had just installed a new downpipe and exhaust but didn't drive it much to get the computer acclimated to it. It was also high 90s and humid. Can't wait to try it again when it's a...
