DOH!!

Today I was checking my fluids and I noticed a rubber line was off on one of my turbo pipes.
I have been having inconsistent power for months, squealing noise, huffing and puffing, blow off noise, etc.
I replaced the tube and put a zip tie around it, road tested and found that power was back and consistent!
What is the part called? This has a tube to each down pipe, and is on the very top of the engine, with an electric connector on it.

You can see my zip tie in the center of the pic. I feel like a dope that I didn't notice this before.

The fustation should be @ Ford for not installing a couple of measly clamps,but glad you found the underlying issue.
BTW is the bolt for the charge pipe intact ?  Z

 

[PDSHO]

No bolt, should I find one?
What is that part called that was unhooked?

Not certain on what hose that is, but based on what I can see IIRC it either is one that goes to the BOVs, or a vacuum ref from somewhere. Either way, it was a small boost leak till ya fixed it.

Probably not for a while. I picked up a 92 mustang for my next project, and just recently closed on my 1st house, so ill be working on the house/finishing the '03 mustang/starting and hopefully finishing the '92 mustang.

TBH the next vehicle will probably be an explorer, expedition, or F150 if its an eco. Diesel trucks (F250/350) are also contenders, as is the lightning and raptor (new eco and old 6.2L) as with all the stangs I probably should get a tow rig for weekend drags...cause I know im gonna start breaking stuff

Get yourself a Powerstroke Derfdog, real trucks don’t have spark plugs!

It's debatable, I'd love a diesel but I know I'd turn it up past the point of being sensible for a tow rig. Granted the same is probably true if I went lightning/6.2L raptor. Not sure how far I'd go on a 3.5L raptor, but I know if I did an F150/Expedition id end up doing light mods but keeping it safe, plus my dad wants a Bronco when they come to market, so I may inherhit his 2011 eco F150.

TBH it'll come down to what I get the best deal on. I wont be doing more than towing one car and a few tools at a time so I don't need anything crazy.

The 6.7 is handling power pretty respectfully and towing to boot. Granted you can install windows to any platform. I love em. Good luck with any of your choices, they’re all pretty solid.
