Finally got that back BOV recir tube off yesterday. What a pain... No way I could get pliers back there. Finally got it with a socket, socket wrench, and some wire strippers.... Lol

Itching to install my RX cleanside, 3bar map, downpipes, and meth. Looks like we are finally going to have some good weather coming here in Ohio.

I sense another pictorial in our future, BiGMaC!
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I tested out the performance feature on the gauge this morning. Ignore the quarter mile and 1/8 mile times, as I simply hit 60 and then hit the brakes and then coasted  a quarter mile.

Your 0-60 time is excellent - and pretty consistent with your other measurement tools.  That makes me think that when the gauge says you are only spiking to 11 PSI of boost, it is being very pessimistic.  I think you are making more boost than that.

I can't wait to get my gauge!

TSS... Very Cool!

Manu... Not too quick... got a few underhood mods to complete... But obviously you know what an appearance nut I am and how much I like to take pics of the car!   LOL

YEah,  I also think it is interesting Bruce in light of my boost readings.what is nice is that the mycal readings, g tech readings, and Aero force readings are extremely close For 0 to 60.

Yes, you have confirmed the accuracy of the 0-60 by using 3 different tools.  I don't think we get accurate boost levels from the ECU.  However, it is still useful from a comparison perspective.  When I get my gauge, I am going to check out some numbers with my current tune, then return to stock and run the same numbers.  As soon as the winter is over, I plan to try a different tune so I can compare those numbers, too.  Data is our friend!

Keep us posted.  Great idea on returning to stock and comparing.
