What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

Installing the Coilovers tomorrow! Hoping to get some pictures etc... was gonna wait until next week but surgery on Monday is gonna put a damper on that.

Cool!  Hope it goes off without a hitch.  Is it major surgery?  I hope not!!!


Shouldn't be! If it is I am screwed... or won't be able to screw if you catch my drift..

With your life hanging in the balance like that, I will say my most fervent prayers!
 
BIG :thankyou: to Mike.B over @ www.ecopowerparts.com for the silicone hose which fit like a glove and made the process of installing the front CAC TO FRONT TURBO HOSE that much easier.  :)
I found very minimal amounts of oil on the original hose which is a plus which took me roughly 30 min for the whole entire install procedure.

I can certainly write a brief "How To" for anyone interested. LMK.  Z

SBS, called it!  Do you use an impact on those clamps?  LOL

Were the clamps included with the hose?  Looks like a great upgrade to ensure no boost leaks in the future.

I hear a rumor he was looking to upgrade to 60mm trim turbos so he can maximize his direct port injection setup... clamps are just an insurance policy!!!

While changing my oil (Amsoil Signature) today, I found my PTU covered with pink transmission fluid......

:(

That's no bueno... warranty still I hope...

No bueno indeed.  Yes still under warranty, so I'm not 'THAT' worried about it. 

I'll have my mechanic diagnose next week.  Hopefully something minor like seals but who knows.

The heaviest concentration of fluid was where the halfshaft was coming thru the PTU, but I couldn't tell if that was the source, or just where it was pooling.
