I really appreciate you responding to my initial question accordingly and with a YUP to go along with it,unfortunetly other forums i have been invited to seemed more private(closed doors)than this one,will give my answer on friday,thanks .Z.

They may "seem" more private but that doesn't make it so.

I seriously doubt anyone here cares how much time you spend on the forum. I know the staff (all 3 of us) have better things to do than watch the movements of our members. Hell, I never paid any attention to the personal stats till you brought this up. If you consider how many hours people spent logged in afk because they forgot to log out, the data is absolutely useless.

If you think there is something nefarious going on, I wish you'd just explain what it is that's bothering you so we can get to the bottom of it. I'm an extremely private person and there is nothing going on here that concerns me in the least.

FoMoCoSHO never knew you were so concerned,thats very kind of you,let me start by saying that my decision was based on a personal level,and clearly not on the status feature,my initial question was if the feature can be turned off and nothing more or less,personally have supported this fine forum in many aspects for quite sometime know and surely dont think any nefarious things are going on,if a little respect was shown to one another rather than comments like Drama being brought up would make things better here,thanks.Z
 
I guess it will benefit me more being active on the forum due to a personal issue at home,in response to p.munkee comment there is no such issues affecting me or anyone in that matter,thanks.z.

I hope you're not leaving, I've been posting a short while but I don't want to see you go, we don't have enough people here as it is, yet knowledgeable like yourself...
 
Thanks FLOSHO,that was very kind and considerate of you,probably will be around because of cool people like you and many others,thank you for the warm thoughts,Z.

It really amazes me and find it quite upsetting based on reading up on the E.B platform having issues with coking of the intake valves which is nothing new to us,but after reading on the F150 forums and others find it amazing the amount of bashing of outside vendors due to there false products and scams especially on the oil catch can front,no wonder they simply dissapeared from this forum which is a good thing,just did not want to disclose any names or titles of the co,would be great to have a section on which vendors to avoid which i mentioned a while back,personally i think it really would benefit everyone and avoid a costly mistake,thanks,Z.

Well, I'm not sure it's a "scam" necessarily. Under boost PCV operation reverses and all of that crap exits the clean side into the front turbo. When those gasses hit the charge cooler and everything falls out of suspension I believe it falls to the bottom of the charge cooler and if too much builds up over time it will get sucked up into the intake stream. There is a thread somewhere that shows how to check your CAC for buildup and iirc one member had pretty substantial buildup.

I have seen Ford's training vid on our PCV system and operation is exactly as vendors have described. Whether or not it falls out of suspension in the CAC is speculation but I don't think it is an unreasonable assumption.



 
And it will be interesting if the Z2S IC pulls even more out of suspension.  Hopefully it has a drain plug on it.

Of course the asymmetric design will still have that stuff hitting the compression impellers of the front turbo...coking the blades up before it gets to the IC to condense... with the back spared this insult... it has to decrease turbo performance and longevity.

FoMoCoSHO good luck on the DP install,after having it done twice on my car found it beneficial to use some PB blaster liberally before removing those bolts,and two sets of gaskets to ensure a leak free system,hope this helps and good luck to you.Z    http://www.tascaparts.com/auto-parts/2013/ford/taurus/sho-trim/3-5l-v6-gas-engine/exhaust-system-cat/exhaust-components-scat

I refuse to wrench on my cars anymore. I just want to drive it and enjoy it. Hence why God made dealership techs....
