What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

Spark I'm not really sure.  Boost was like 13-15lbs.  As for logs I'm sure I have a couple from when I was at the track and they woulda been the same tune that was in when she ate it.
Hmmm

15 PSI shouldn't cause a failure with E30 in the tank.

E30 laughs at 15 PSI.

We run 15 PSI on E-30 without meth and I'd bet my spark is more aggressive than yours,  25-27 degrees @WOT. We've run as much as 17 PSI w/o issue besides IAT 2 temps.

Would love to see those logs.

 
Started out the day at 0930, went to the auto hobby shop put on the new powerstop rotors and pads as well as switched out the winter tires for my summer ones (flower power wheels with NT555's), brought her home washed, waxed, engine detail, vacuumed, and touched up the bottom plastic and wiper cowel with some back to black. Just finished and i'm ready for bed. Would never guess she's about to turn 90k on the odometer by looking at the engine bay though :P

Busy day, L1ger, and well worth it!  Mikey, congratulations, remember it's wipe on wipe off not the other way around.  And FoMoCo,  :bangin:

I hope your damage is minimal/non-existent! I have to find a place here in Maryland that can fix my two bent wheels (ex curbed it when I let her drive for the first hour of our trip. I ended up driving 23 hours because of that.).

The bay is much better than when i first got the car. I don't know if anyone remembers that little fiasco I had with a dealership that will remain unnamed.
 
There used to be a wheel shop in Rockville across from Superior Automotive (where I had my SHO maintained after ProTech closed), might still be there.  But there are mobile services that can fix if it is not too bad.

EDIT:  Can't find the wheel shop, but did notice there is another full service shop there

On a side note... I did hit a cat while I was going 120mph once... I hit it so hard that parts of it flew forward and then back under the car... my girlfriend at the time popped her head up to see what happened... told her I hit box since she loved cats...

Blew(no pun intended) the lower grille of my car to pieces... stupid cat...

Big brake upgrade with SS brake lines installed
SWEET!  Details?
HD brakes from 13+ parts, fomoco calipers and brackets, power stop Z23 rotors and pads, Goodrich SS brake lines. Painted with VHT caliper paint- primer, red, clear.
Easy upgrade, direct bolt on and went fairly easily. Had one issue with a brake line flare being a bit too smooshed, but finally got it into the new line.
Still have to go out and break them in properly, but should be better than stock on my Flex. Rear caliper was hung up, bad, plus those stock rotors on rear are not vented. New ones are.

Looks awesome! You planning on upgrading the booster too? I can't see the signature but I am assuming you have a 2010-2012?
