What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

First time ever I had an audible knock happen... nice....

Apparently having your lambda jump to 1.14 in the middle of a boost spike will create unwanted noise...

i see you are trying to make your supercar give you fuel economy.  bad, bad boy.

Hahahahaha! If you mean not needing gas because the car is on blocks, then yup...

Nice to have climate control working properly!

Absolutely!

Crap night at the track.... no one was getting traction... 8.1 all night with all 3 tuners... lol...

Done with 1/8 mile tracks... thinking I have all the data I need at this point.

got a great deal on an upgraded radar detector so decided to stealth mount everything with the hard wire. even flush mounted the mute button under the steering wheel.
the RD is hardly visible from outside the car.

Updated tune from none other than AJPTurbo... feeling we can improve a small amount on that 12.3 ET in near 90 degree weather...

Down right scares me to think of what it will run with low humidity and temps in the mid to high 60’s....

Today I tore both turbos and exhaust manifolds off after I found one manifold had warped and began leaking.  I'm replacing both manifolds with CR Performance manifolds to hopefully prevent warpage in the future.  I sure hope it works, because this is a crap-ton of work.

Did you drop a portion of the subframe? I didn’t know anyone made manifold upgrades?

This is on an F150, so I did everything through the fenderwells.  CR Performance just released upgraded manifolds.  Their design looks less likely to warp as they are thicker and made from stronger steel.

So it does away with the 2-layered structure of the manifold?

 

[DSMtuned]

Look at the photos in that link comparing these CRP manifolds vs stock.  The CRP's have more material and larger bosses, which should make them more resistant to warping. 

Apparently warping manifolds is a well documented problem in these trucks.

Attached is a photo of the damage.  I first found a sheared bolt when looking for the source of an exhaust leak noise.
