Good luck with finding the leak...I'm stuck at the scuba center today... the rest of our staff is in Maine dredging for gold... I drew the short straw to stay home and man our store.

OK, so I do like working on my car in good weather...and when I have my tools (all that is left back at my house in Texas).

So, I decided to try and fix the t-handle myself; went and got a drill and a tap/die set. It was going exceptionally well until I screwed up the last hole and couldn't fix it. I somehow offset it so the lock out wouldn't work quite right. Of course I dropped one of the set screws for the handle--had to try and find that damn thing. Of course I "tried" to fix the hole and ended up breaking the drill bit off. I tried to get it out and it fell inside the tube the little plastic lock out plunger goes in. I couldn't get it to disengage lockout to switch gears. I ended up pulling the entire center console apart and the shifter assembly out just to fix all the crap. When I went to put it back I learned each screw for each corner is temperamental. I couldn't get them to freaking seat--so I needed a longer extension and adapter for my drill. I drove to Harbor Freight (20 minutes) with my shifter assembly just sitting in the center console. I ended up putting everything back together in the parking lot at Harbor Freight.

Lesson; if you REALLY want the T Handle from the 2010-2012 Taurus; just spend the $160 dollars and buy the entire shifting assembly. You have to be "SPOT" on with the holes otherwise you will have helluva time with the lockout like I did. I'm just going to order whole assembly and switch them out; they are exactly the same--just one has holes in different side.

Spent 14 hours on the car yesterday but everything is in and working. Need to do some tweaking to the tune and fuel pressure settings today.

No ... more ... leaks  :bangin:
I figured out what was causing my boost leak, the old fuel cell that was in the car was "sitting" on the back turbo to IC pipe, when the engine rotated it caused the pipe to shift and loosen one of the silicone connectors. I am seeing 20PSI again, just need to get fuel dialed in, too too much fuel with new dual fuel pumps. :)

I changed my oil, 6qts 5/30 Red Line with a PureOne Purolator (store didn't carry 500s and I figured PureOne is same same anyways lol)

I also moved my rear 5/16" spacer to the front and put new 7/16" spacers on the rear, while rotating the tires.

Two days of hard work have paid off, car is fully running on E85! Looking good!
No more fuel cell under the hood, only have to fill the car up with E85, no more mixing 91/E85.

went to first open car show with my ford club buddies. Luckily mustang, camaros & corvettes had their own classes. my SHO was in the 2005 to present non-moded. No super cars showed up, caddy V's, dodge srt8's, or 392's. car i liked best in my class was a 2006 GTO, but guy didn't clean her up good & didn't do anything for presentation, so didn't place. Luckily beat out the rest & took home the blue ribbon. main reason is ford has done such a poor job of getting the word out on our cars, most judges first time to see one live.
