What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

well, I went over 60k miles :'(

So I decided to change out the RDU fluid. It was kind of a PITA, the IRS cradle is in the way of everything. Lots of arm contortion and sweat it took to get-r-dun. The way the fluid looks it probably wasn't necessary, but with fresh Amsoil in there I'm confident it'll last the rest of the life of the car.

Good to do it anyways! I did my PTU around 50 or 60, looked great but now I know I do t have to worry about it.

i wish my PTU fluid looked as good as the RDU. I've done it 3 times in the PTU and it has always been really black. Since i'm out of warranty now, I'll drill and tap a drain plug and make it simple to swap the fluid.
 
I removed the RX CSS and Installed the new CFM Performance Billet valve breather in Gloss Black which seems to be a quality piece.
It does have an internal Baffle to relieve any unwanted crankcase pressure to exit.  Z

$79.95

Won't that leave a mess on your engine over time?  Even with a filter on there, I would want to keep an eye on that, seeing how spotless you like your vehicles.

Thanks man! It does look more enticing especially @ $79.99 plus Free shipping.  Z
 
Well yesterday I changed the ptu fluid and replaced it with Lucas 75w-140. Put fresh amsoil 5w-30 in the motor and put on my new stainless works downpipes. Only took 1 picture for some odd reason. Bad news is I or the previous owner put a hurting on the front turbo.

I did the same with Severe Gear at 100k. Original Fluid still looked fresh out the bottle. Drilled n tapped a plug in the case to garentee I would never have to go through that again. Lol

Not nearly as bad as highcalibers, it was a 90 pound deer instead of a 5,000 pound suv.

I oredered an effing Mdesign intake last Wednesday.  2-3 shipping my ass.  Friday I got an e-mail saying it was shipped.  Monday I get the same e-mail again with a tracking number.  I checked the number today.  Package hasn't even been dropped off at USPS yet.

Can't wait to get it on though.  I'm itching for some more top end.
 
Yeah they are pretty good from the results I was researching.  Plus they had a decent summer special going on.

Figured hmm 2-3 day shipping, not to shabby.  lol
 
Probably why it's taking awial had lots more orders but it does suck that they seemed to of had it almost going out the door and then it didn't actually happen

Friday has come.  It's now been a week since the item was "shipped" and the tracking number shows nada.  I've sent 2 emails with no response. Can't lie. Getting worried.  Even if they are overloaded most online vendors will send an e-mail notifying of a back log or post it on their site. 

The reason I'm so concerned is I need to know when it'll actually be here since USPS tracking system is crap as well.  I'll be out of town and if a porch pirate hits me I'll be PISSED.

 
This is not New, they are like that, so you will get it, Just a matter of When,
and whatever you do,
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the band clamp at the Air intake Snout,
So Snug ONLY....
 
It took a VERY long time for mine to show up. Also with multiple shipping updates. You kind of have to stay on top of them to get a response.
 
Reached out on facebook, was told to email them, which I already did.

I'm glad eventually ya'll got your stuff.  I hate feeling like I ordered something shady.

Guess I won't worry about it showing up while I'm out of town this weekend.

That sucks Matt ...I figured you had seen some of the earlier debacles that had taken place from them...they seem to operate on their own time frame....they only responded to other issues after being repeatedly pinged and bashed here then they seemed to respond as a means of damage control after people were pissed
