Yeah, that's why I don't trust even the dealer. I did it myself making sure everything was done right and just had a buddy of mine write my up a receipt for installation from his workshop.
Yes it does and I knew this going in. But it can be made to fit, just not as it was originally designed by Ford. I am going to make it compatible.
Cool, be interested to see the result.
That statement was a recent addition to the description. Additionally, when the FP CAI/tune kit was released I had asked the FP techline if the separator was compatible with it and was told that it was. Obviously, that was wrong. I also removed the FP oil separator and put the stock hose back on.
FP warranty covers anything needing warranty work that is deemed caused by the FP parts or tune for the 3/36 from car purchase. Original warranty still covers anything while valid not attributed to FP parts or tune. Example, you need your ac worked on. They didn't find reason to blame the FP tune or parts so original warranty covers it. Same thing if you had a custom e85 tune from elsewhere. But, say something pops, and they do blame the FP parts or tune, then the FP warranty will cover that work where if you had custom tune from elsewhere it could be out of pocket.
Thanks. I'll skip this until my warranty expires.
I wouldn't be to concerned on the warranty side as yours expires in 5 mos. At this point inst
Finished installing the FP Power Pack 2 tune last night. Drove around for nearly 2 hours today and had a blast with the car! It drives altogether different in a better way. Rev hang is nearly non-existent and throttle response is much better. To shift smoothly, before the tune, I had to do a 2 second pause after pushing in the clutch. No longer have to do that. It's also a little louder and the exhaust tone is deeper. Another thing I noticed was being able to pass in 6th gear with greater ease. Cruising at highway speed I would sometimes lazily stay in 6th gear just pushing my foot down and waiting for the car to speed up. Now, it just does it in half the time and without any laboring. This was running on a tank of 91 octane. I burned through half a tank today and topped off with 94 octane. Really happy with this kit and how it woke up the car.
Installation wasn't hard but it was a PITA. The air inlet to the throttle body wouldn't cooperate to install it all the way over the flange. So I am hoping the heat from the engine will loosen it up to allow me to clamp it all the way on. I have about a 1/8" further to push it on even though the bottom edge is completely on.
My other issue was that stupid foam seal on the air box. I played around with that damn thing for far too long to get it where it was supposed to be. Every picture of this kit I have seen has not had the foam installed correctly. It is supposed to seal around the painted metal bracket that protrudes into the air box. You will need to hold the foam back (towards the fender) while putting the top of the box on. Then hold it while you tighten it down. An extra pair of hands would help. The foam could get torn so don't force it beyond it's limits. Most installs leave a gap on the back side of the foam and that allows hot air to get in.
Here is how I did mine. Sealed all around:
How NOT to do it:
The hard foam backing is on the wrong side of the air box upper half. The hard foam needs to be on the outside of the box.
How it should be:
The hard backing on the foam piece has to be on the outside of the box from front to back. The top part of the air box sits on top of the soft foam edge to create a seal.
Hopefully that saves someone some headaches and lowers some people's IAT's.
I noticed there is a vertical gap in the back of the air box where the two halves meet. Not sure if this is by design to allow some air through? It l looks like an easy place to seal with some adhesive foam and to get some before and after temperature data. A project for a rainy day.
