The BOV is referenced for vacuum. Zjbeez said:Haven't datalogged yet. I wanted to install my hotpipes but temp dropped 20 degrees and now its 35 out, supposed to go upto 50 on Sunday so I might wait until then and also do an oil change at the same time.
I think I'm going to chop into that hose assembly I bought and try to slip this fitting in with a heatgun and see how it goes..... chopped that hard plastic pipe, my TEE is like 6AN the hard plastic hose is 11mm ID, I have 11mm hose clamp which is a hair too small to fit so I need like a 12 or 13mm, my 14mm hose clamp is a hair too big. Is this line under boost pressure or just vacuum? Looks like I'm running to the autoparts store
Does this pipe look split?

Thats where your tial bov is hooked in right?ZSHO said:
What are these fittings called that I attached here? How are you supposed to get these off when they're attached? The side on the brake booster is in a tough spot on my car trying to figure out how to get at it

The red clips in the other hand for the fuel vapor lines need to be pulled out.
That's not the hose I cut, also the fitting is different, it doesn't have that red part in it. At least my new part doesn't have that, the existing one may but I can't see it
Needed a tiny little tool to get the fitting off, my friend's a mechanic and I stopped by his shop today and did it outside his shop, I just had to take my battery terminal off because I have a bunch of extra wires there for my stereo, but normal setup probably doesn't need to do that. Just the brake booster side was tough because of that, other side was super easy. I swapped them and I'm motoring around with the new one. When I install hot pipes again tomorrow, should make it that much easier.
1/2" fuel line disconnect got those fittings off.ZSHO said:
Also driving the other day got on it, heard a pop like a backfire. Checked out the engine bay. Looks like dealer put pipe from intercooler to tb on, but didn't tighten the clamp, so it was a huge boost leak. I logged like 2psi of boost and was like.... TF

Hot pipes back on. The new factory BOVs are a little different, attached pic of one. Ready yo go test drive... btw found more loose hose clamps when I went to take factory pipes off, pretty horrible service from the ford dealer I went to. I'm hesitant to blame the tech considering I don't know what kind of time constraints he's under to get things done. I am very leary of buying another ford, especially with an ecoboost considering the dealers are so incompetent troubleshooting them/fixing them.

Thanks I'll have to look into that, however I had a lincoln MKX from the local place and had some boneheaded techs work on my MKX once they had to fix a headlight so they replaced it and didn't aim it so it pointed straight down. Bring it back and leave it, come back to pick it up, driving around that night, BOTH headlights pointing straight down couldn't see ****! I can't make this **** up.
The only other lincoln dealers near me are in NJ I think, and I refuse to cross the bridge for political reasons, I carry daily and they don't want me in the state with my firearm so I'm more than happy to not visit their state with my money.

So I am potentially developing the same issue as the original poster. I've got some oil seepage out of the rear turbo charge pipe right at that plastic ring clamp "thing". My question is "What's actually under that plastic clamp?". It sounds like I can cut it off and just replace it with another clamp assuming the pipe itself isn't cracked? I'm trying to verify before I go and either order a replacement piece or just say heck with it and get the hot pipes. I do have a silicone 1.5" to 2" adapter just in case the hose itself is split but I'm afraid it may be too short.ZSHO said:Here's your PIC!! Notice any difference?. Z
I guess my main concern is once I take the clamp off will I be able to reclamp it with a band clamp or something and still at least drive it?
