Got hot and cold sides from CP-E Installed, I am constantly impressed with how well the ecoboost responds to mods.



Are u saying there is a noticeable gain in performance from installing the pipes or the BOV?  Was your BOV leaking?  Just curious.  I figured you would have to be incredibly modded up to feel a benefit from either.

Changed the spark plugs today for the first time.  Was a pretty easy job compared to some other cars I've done.  Extensions and swivels made the ones in back relatively easy.

Not directly responsible for increased performance.  BUT the OEM pipes have been known to expand, crack or even come loose, each of which causes variation in or even loss of boost.  Having the hard pipes helps eliminate this source of variation.  Not unlike what people like to do with SS brake lines.

 I ordered a  MDesign CAI today.  I don't have any exhaust work done so I guess its just because it looks cool and I will maybe have a better(cooler) spot for my catch can.

Got my 20" Niche Targas back from being refinished and 2 dents removed so I put them back on.

Now for window tint and maybe exhaust and a downpipe or IC pipes.

Tints will compliment those wheels and provide for an overall visual 'wow' from top to bottom, front to rear. Dig'n the theme.

Well executed thus far.

Thanks!  My gf likes the chrome but I just want to black it out and will over the summer I am sure.

Going to schedule some tint hopefully next week.

P.S. I love your car.

I changed my spark plugs today and never knew how much easier it was to gain access to #3 spark plug by the rear bank due to the PPE HOTPIPES making it less difficult to gain access to that plug which before was a pita to change because of the tight space and Truly commend Mike from www.ecopowerparts.com for making it feasible to gain access. below are pic;s of my plugs at roughly 8,000 miles on them.  Z    Z  8)

What, you didn't scrub the plugs with Purple Power and reuse them?  :D  They look in pretty good shape.  Is the engine running smooth still after the BG service?

Another plus point for the hotpipes :thumb:

I installed a JLT catch can last week and this week I was hoping to have a 3bar Unleashed tune on my 2016 today but ran into issues.

I had x4 programming the ECU and I went away to change out the map sensor on the manifold.. I heard the highbeams clack on and off so I put the screw into the sensor and walked back to the drivers seat and tried to start the car; It started up and then I heard the transmission grab a gear in park and the engine immediately ran like crap. I shut the engine off and found out I was in so much of a rush I left the map sensor unplugged.. I plugged the sensor back in and it still wouldn't run, it actually ran worse with the sensor(Check engine, Seek Service, Service Advance Trac lights on).. I removed the sensor and tune and it ran fine.. Later discovered that the car ran on a 3bar tune Torrie provided with the stock OEM sensor. :pat:
I contacted Torrie and been getting immediate responses and hes working with SCT to fix the template; I'm guessing nobody has run a 3bar map with a 2016 with SCT yet?

Since i'm a 30min drive from SCT's corporate office, maybe they're wanting to take a look at a 2016? I heard they were wanting to play around with the older SHO's and it was on their vehicles wanted list in exchange for some promo stuff..

Go for it!  I hope you do get some goodies in exchange for helping out SCT!

Finally got my RMM and DP installed. Got stuck with the car on stands for a solid week as no one carries nickel based anti-seize locally.





I love next to no turbo lag and a buttery smooth shift. Gonna need to bump the idle up a bit though for stop lights. All that is left is the intercooler. After that stock turbo is maxed out as much as it will push. Upgrades for that next season!

Any change in sound?  Clips?

MRT makes some nice mufflers for the ST, you could as re: the Fusion.
