I meant I used the same bolt but ditched the washer since it didn't seem necessary

hey Jason, I noticed the cvf street intercooler kit provided a washer for the oem bolt that holds the map sensor to the intercooler, but after swapping the map sensor over the bolt could barely thread in with the provided washer, so I ditched it. Could this be a problem/source of a boost leak?

I don't think the o ring is damaged since the car is only a couple months old, but I do remember the cvf street intercooler came with a washer for the original bolt that holds the map sensor in, but with the washer on the bolt could barely thread in so we ditched it. Could that be a problem?

Does something like turtle wax carnauba wax and dry do anything to protect the paint from sun damage? I've started to use that after my rinseless washes every week

gotcha, but also isn't afr supposed to go lower to the 12's when under WOT (from what I've read)? so if there's a boost leak it would be even lower than that?

well fuck me

oh the gauge I was referring to is the digital boost gauge in the digital cluster

gotcha, I'll prob get that kit. but are the stock turbos not supposed to be making close to 20 lbs?

I was able to superglue the clip that broke off back to the housing to the point where it's flush now

not sure to both, it runs fine but I've been reading on the forums/fb groups that most people make 20lbs of boost even stock, and I have the ford performance tune. I don't fully understand turbocharged cars, just the basics. I'm suspecting a leak since I was flooring it in both 2nd/3rd gear...

Honestly not that sure, I recently installed a new intercooler but we snugged the charge pipes down as far as we could and tightened the clamps down pretty tight. The turbosmart bov was installed a couple months ago, but I've also only recently being driving the car harder and paying attention...

Was pushing it a bit and noticed my boost never seemed to go past 15 even in 40 deg cold weather. Do I have to hit pretty much redline to see max boost of ~20? Is there a kit to determine where my boost leak is? I found this but am unsure what else I'd need...

maybe I just drive like a maniac

is it normal to smell the burning clutch after stomping on it? mine is an ecoboost and I always smell it after parking when driving hard

do you mean shortshifting? I shortshift for the first 10-15 mins until oil is in the middle of the green, then go crazy

Can't seem to find the part # for my 22 ecoboost mustang online. Looking to do my first oil change next week, wanted to have a spare plug just in case something happens. found it: https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/plug-oil-drain-7874447-1?pdp=y

1. way louder suctioning sound 2. looks sexy in the engine bay :giggle: edit: also my friend and I were able to install the cvf street in a couple hours, can confirm hardest part was just struggling with the charge pipes

forgive me for being a noob, but 2 rivnuts can hold a 2.5 lb fire extinguisher safely/sturdily like that? any worries of it bending over time or coming lose? thinking of doing the same with this mount I found https://www.roughcountry.com/utv-fire-extinguisher-mount.html

nice, I found a similar one for cheaper https://www.roughcountry.com/utv-fire-extinguisher-mount.html will probably do that

Yep I heard that but imo it's a minimal difference, friend and I put some flashlights in the CAI and held the hood just shut and couldn't see any light coming out so the seal against the hood insulation is prob 95% as good as closed box The sucking sounds are :like:
