Btw cleanup the connectors and gently push up the connectors with a small flat stubby screw driver or vice grips and push it in.  Z   :)

The post before the edit was much more fun to try.

Thanks for the tip!

10 years out of the seat, I am rusty as hell!

Did Z edit my post again? I didn't notice.....He prefers this forum be appropriate for 7 year old girls I guess....I didn't even cuss....I hope he doesn't drive people away from this fine forum due to  boredom.

And no tools for those connectors!!

Thanks again for the help everyone!

Got it all tore down but found out the '15 Fusion does not have the mounts i need for the boomba catch can and the RX can won't mount where they put it in the focus thanks to my ECU on the strut tower and my fatter CP-E TIP.

At least I didn't see any oil stain on the lower intake runners like I saw on the turbo inlet so it seems most of the mess is getting caught in the FMIC so far. Still would like to install the RX, found a spot in the fenderwell for it, but need to improvise a bracket and get more tubing first

So all that just for some spacers!  :freak2:

Maybe I just sell both cans and go for meth injection.

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 wouldn't

Thanks, been following you as a lurker for a while, you know your stuff!

Been musing it back and forth myself, I have seen the videos and am hoping to get my hands on a boroscope to see how bad I am, supposedly at 17k my valves should already be coked but my setup did not drip near as much oil as I saw in the videos. But there is evidence of oil on the TB and down to the IC so there is oil in the air and it will make it down there.

There is very little room in this bay without starting to relocate things. I am thinking I will mount the RX in the fenderwell and sell the boomba, boomba is just a billet style with an in-built check valve supposedly. Any problems running vac lines for a can to the fenderwell and back?

I mean meth has it's benefits and it works. I just don't like what I see in the logs....And you will not have a finely tuned machined....You kinda have to compromise and settle for what you can in terms of tuning and that's just not my style.

But if you are looking to extend the power limits of the stock turbo or fuel and intercooler then meth will do that but there will be compromises in tuning. If 1/4 mile times and dyno charts are your top priority over precise tuning then go meth
