JimiJak said:Good to know. So if the can is installed correctly, and it's not a vacuum issue that's causing your problem; my next guess would be a turbo leak somewhere in the plastic charge pipes once the boost reaches a certain pressure. So let's say it's a leak that only happens at 10psi, you'll only get 10psi, and any additional boost will be lost even though you're WOT.
I'm assuming you're not throwing any CELs and you're not missing on any cylinders or anything, right?
You're stock, other than the catch can, right?
POPSTAGE2 said:Hi All-
I have about 500 miles on my wife's Sport now. Wanted to break it in like Stacy suggested to set the rings in. But diddn't want to get to happy with high rpm's untill the catch can install do to the the poor pcv, evacuation system. So up till about 300 miles I would load the engine down using the paddle shifters at between 1/2 and 3/4 throttle. (worked great) Power felt good.
Now with the catch can Installed I drove it pretty hard with full throttle blasts. Pretty disappointed with the full trottle power. It seems it has the same power output at 1/2 and 3/4 throttle as it does at full. There is no torque steer. Is it possible you may have created a boost leak with the can installation?
Before we bought the 2014, I was able to test drive a 2013 with 25K on the clock for a week...granted it was when it was cold and we had better air but that thing had scary torque steer and had a lot more full throttle power. when you nailed it at 55-60 mph the torque steer was incredible, and frankly was worried that it was to much for the wife...not with our 2014...it has just a hint and just doesn't feel like it has the power.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Guy

To date, there's only been ONE SHO that's broken into the 11's.
That was FirstSHO (Mike) with an 11.95.

I would still love to see a pic of your can install. The more we dig into this, the more I wonder if you tapped the charge pipes instead of the intake pipes...
Although...if the check valves are still intact in that line, you shouldn't be loosing any turbo pressure...not to mention I would be very surprised if the fitting would hold on with 15 pounds of pressure.
Still though...unless it's just a red herring, the OCC set up needs examined even if just to rule it out.
Any chance you can get a picture up soon?
Needmoreboost said:One simple and small boost leak can cause a milleu of problems and is very hard (without boost leak tester) to find. I chased them a lot in my SRT4 until I went to tbar clamps. Then again they were metal pipes not the plastic ones we have. Wont work on ecoboost until you convert the hot and cold side pipes.
POPSTAGE2 said:This first couple of pictures you can see the charge? pipe hose sits about a 1/2" from going on the whole way...I loosened the clamp (clamp was kinda loose) and slid the hose on all the way tighted, then took it out for a beat. About the same power. This picure is after the short drive...the hose slid back off from bottoming. Thinking this is normal as when the clamp is against the "barb" it will seal from pressure.
Sorry for the dark pics...was in a hurry this morning to get to work...
