What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

Well articulated and very well summarized.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

Nice job there SBS / BJ.

People on facebook SHO group.  A post was made about interest in bigger turbos, then a comment was made turbo's are last concern since PTU cannot handle power the stock components can put out when dialed up.  a couple people jumped in saying prove it, and one which could be part of a big tuning Co said it is a non issue.  problems are all improper maintenance, not power related.

for those with FB:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/2254469276/permalink/10156434109609277/?comment_id=10156434651799277&notif_id=1534463671824293&notif_t=group_comment_reply

Lamrith I also saw that post as it was happening and that comment caught my eye. Was that you that said 'Show me where they have shattered under power?" Anyway I was thinking the same. As SHOdded mentioned they have been prone to failure but they have failed on stock SHO's as well. Makes me think. We all know at some power level there will be a failure but we need someone to just go for it. Anyone want to start a "Go Fund me" and I'll go for broke! jk

SHOdded, Jessica (dont know here at all but this what she posted prior) says she is an ASE Master technician for Ford and thats where her insight comes from. She mentioned not being a Livernois customer but lives near and knows the guys.

Sit back and ponder about it, really, every site has 3-4 people that are the "authority" that everyone listens to. I would just say the ones here are entertaining though. LOL

No that was not me that made that comment.  It is my belief that the trans/PTU's on these are ultimately the weak-point in the system, just based off things I have read here and many other places.

Honest question.. So basically, since 2010 nobody has come along with more money than sense? Most every forum I've followed, there are a few with big pockets who are happy to break something since they've nothing better to do. Just curious, I don't follow much ecoboost performance and I don't do FaceSpace.

[SHOdded]

Not when you start with a sensible platform in the first place LOL.  Not many of the tried and failed stories are made public tho.

It's a two fold problem... money and a shop.

I HAD some money set aside for this, talked to several shops, not one really wanted to tackle it.

TBH if more peeps made an attempt to better heatshield the PTU, we might be able at least eliminate external influences from the PTU scenario.  The oem shielding is simply insufficient, the cooled systems are better but still not enough.  Then we move on to the BEST fluid possible, setting the stage to let the PTU fail because of the PTU design.

Well, that's a bit rude of them. I like to see broken stuff! We need a trust fund brat with a nice camera around here.

Had to clean and detail the whole backseat area.

The wife and i went to a wedding last night. We ended up giving another couple a ride home because they where both tourqed. What they failed to do was clean themselves off before we left. They where in the woods bumpin uglies and where pretty filthy.
Lol,
well kinda lol, also kinda pissed about it.

[bpd1151]

Ha! That's dynomite.

A lil late time outdoor romping in the woods.

Inspirational, even if it was a lil "dirty" for the Uber ride home.

Yeah, ticks are a major problem here too. A few ppl i know have lyme disease.  Luckily i didnt find anything that looked DNAish on the seats because i didnt wear gloves. Lol

These damn floor mats are a pita to clean. To clean them good anyways. That was 1/2 the time spent. No big deal tho, i rarely even have one passenger in the SHO let alone three.

Next time carry a vat of lye for those times you "bump" into unsavory cab customers

E85 near me. I did not test this. A member of a local Car Facebook page does this every week.

Leesport, Pa. Just north of Reading Pa.

Our Sunoco Ultra 93 is pretty good too.

God I wish we had e85 local here. I guess I can't b*tch to much at least we have 93 at every gas station.
