Hello all! My name is Ed, I've been registered for a few weeks now, just been reading and absorbing as much as I can. I live in the DuBois area of PA, and see I have some 'neighbors' relatively close. May have to organize a meet some time!
I'm not new to the world of turbocharged automobiles (DSM's, VAG cars, turbo EK hatch build, Subie's), but I am learning from the ground up again with direct injection and the Ecoboost platform. So far I'm understanding that religious fluid changes are one of the most important things that can be done.
I love the forum so far, and want to thank everyone for the knowledge they bring. The How To section has a ton of stuff I can't wait to tackle, kudos to the individuals who took the time to share their experiences so newbs such as myself can have a reference point to start at.
My goals for the SHO are to have a mid-high 12 second daily driver that will be driven year round. My understandings are this is pretty attainable with a tune and down pipes, although I know NOTHING is set in stone. I am planning on going 93oct Unleashed on an X4, 3 bar, SP534's, and a 170* tstat. MAYBE a flanged muffler delete if I don't get DP's right away. Something that I can easily bolt back on as wanted.
Cheers!
