What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

had had noticed the X4 i received last night is....

lets just say its not designed by Apple.  Have to do what it takes to keep costs down I guess.

But I am now tuned with the 93 Torrie tune.  Have only driven around the block to make sure the car runs, and 15 miles to work this morning.

I really can't even tell there is a tune, unless going WOT.  the 1-2 gear change hits hard and turns the TC on.  instant milage on the highway shows an easy 3 mph gain.

Congrats!! You'll love it!!

Oh, postman just dropped this off for me...



From a fusion...
My plan is to remove Taurus badge all together, split the SHO badge to remove EcoBoost portion.
Place SHO badge on the left where Taurus was and place this EBawd badge on the right where SHO is now.
 
Got it cleaned up and actually dressed the tires today. Got new tires on back in November but haven't put dressing on them yet. I used some of my Adams Polishes stuff for the first time today. VRT on the tires and leather conditioner on all the leather parts of the seats. I'll post pics tomorrow.

Also cleaned up the wife's MKX today. Her chrome wheels looked horrible with winter grime. I used Meg's water spot remover on them and they sparkle like new with very little elbow grease. I also put VRT on her new tires.

Got my car towed to the dealer.. no start.. think low pressure fuel pump


Well they told me the HPFP connector was not plugged in correctly aka loose.. causing the no start and low pressure in the fuel rail...

Winter tires are finally off! Now it's time to log some WOT passes and refine the tune, in time for drag season.

Couple more pics in better light of red plasti dipped taillight surrounds and badges. 
Updated pics, for some reason my phone pic settings were on transfer processing.

Love it ^


I installed my Corsa kit yesterday... took me about an hr with a friend helping. Longest part was aligning tips.

Impressions:
Shoulda started this way. Its a little higher pitched than my old setup (3rd cat/res delete, x pipe, dynomax axle back) but turbos are louder and midrange rasp is all but gone.
The 1250 rpm resonance I had (almost inaudible but would rattle the change in the cupholder) is completely gone. Ive had that resonance since I did the 3rd cat/res delete... even when it was the muffled x. A steady 1250rpm, like 45mph area, under any load whatsoever would rattle. Gone!

It def has a unique tone over all that ill get used to... but it sounds good and now i dont have to cringe in embarrassment when my classy looking car goes ricer boy raspy at 2500rpm.

My 50k dollar car now sounds like one.
Money well spent
