What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

Maybe I can download the sound meter app for Android and test. Set it to the drivers side at chest level like  a car at the light next to me. Then rev the engine and let the BOV's release and test with and without the hose. The BOV's are much quieter when you rev and release in park, but comparing apples to apples it will let me know the difference. With the windows down in sport mode and popping the throttle it sure seems like it is louder. I can only imagine if you had an open window next to it!

Again, any ideas on something to place on the end of the hose extensions to enhance or increase the sound would be great.

I installed the 160 degree thermostat that I ordered from Jamie last week.  I was easily able to purge the air from the system and install as much coolant as I lost during the process. 

I had just washed the car and, of course, it is raining in Minneapolis so I haven't had the car out on the road yet.  Having let it run for quite some time in the garage, the warmest it got was 180.  Revving the engine brings the temps down into the mid 170s.  The heater works fine.  I look forward to seeing how it does on a WOT pull but it seems that the new t-stat is indeed keeping things cooler. 
 
I had a buddy of mine which works for a body shop come over and give her a well deserved Beauty spa which consisted of a wash,clay bar,buffing,hand wax,and glaze to help preserve the wax.  Z    :shades: :shades:
 
Mark... Looks stellar!

You two guys made me feel bad... Just finished a full exterior, engine bay, and undercarriage detail... I hold you 2 responsible for the use of my Sunday afternoon! ...LOL

I have the stage 4 kit, took about a month for them to arrive.

The plastidip was more for a test to see if I really wanted the rims black and if not no harm done

  Be sure to break the pads in by the book or you will toast them.
