Rough idle, shaking when in d and taking foot off brake.

I don't think the cooler will be any sort of an issue.

I wouldn't take any crap about it either...it's not a performance part, as long as its installed correctly and I assume its Ford parts and not leaking so good luck connecting a longevity upgrade with an engine failure.

As long as you don't have any obvious parts and your tuner doesn't wipe your ignition count they will have no reason to look further.

Heard lots of stories about this supposed "deep scan" but I'm highly skeptical that it exists.

None of the techs I know have any knowledge of such a scan FYI, and the Mrs has never heard of such a thing either.

She's deals with warranty daily on the service side and has warranty experience on the admin side as well.

Good luck and keep us updated.



 
I've had a dealer ask me if I was using a tuner after certain problems. I just denied and they kept doing a few grand of warranty work. Funny enough that dealers on SCT's Unauthorized Sellers list.

I Doubt there's any such thing as a deep ECU scan considering ALL stock data is written over and then replaced, I think a rom from the ECU would have to be taken to a lab and at that point the cost would be too great to deny some warranty claims..

Ford didn't look too hard at my ECU after 3 Trans failures and my lemon law case. I wanted to believe that maybe the tune caused the trans failure, but from day 1 the car had 1-2 shift glitches and erratic and incorrect shifts without a tune. Torrie did a awesome job trying to mitigate the problems with the trans but the tune ended up causing the issues to be more apparent on a lemon transmission.
 
I would challenge anyone to install this thing as well as I did. Just like most of you guys, there is a high degree of passion that goes into working on my car and it absolutely boils my blood when a suit wearing service advisor tries to talk down to me.

Got a new long block from ford. cracked piston , cracked head. wonder if they put my lms thermostat back in? how long before I tune again?
 
That is pretty much my story to a T.  Took it in because it would shake off idle.  After a few weeks of changing the whole PCV system, spark plugs, etc, they did a compression test and found a dead cylinder.  Upon tear down they found a cracked ring land.  Piston ring was wedge in a compressed state causing the excess blowby and loss in compression.  New short block fixed that issue. 

Two years later I'm fighting another issue though! 
 
I'm having this exact same issue.  Exactly.  No misfire codes.  No check engine lights at all.  No noticeable issues anywhere but idle.  Just had my brother follow behind me to see if there was any smoke.  No smoke other than the typical GDI smoke.  I DO have an oil residue all over the back bumper and there IS oil all over and around the rear turbo and some around the front turbo.  Would the leaking oil around the turbos cause a rough idle?

Check your spark plugs for signs of running rich or burning oil.

If you suspect blow bye at idle pull the dipstick and look for any puffs of oil vapor.
 
Just a question, how obvious was it (the shake/vibration)

Was it subtle, or was it very noticeable - like even a passenger that knows nothing about cars would notice it easily even first time being it the car?

 
It's the scary truths about performance (especially turbo) cars. We are putting an engine through much more than a naturally aspirated engine.
