This time I'm pretty damn convinced.. :)   So convinced I will drop in the 15 pound tune and test, it then hook the meth up,  then test that... and then move back to the meth build.

great to hear! def report back on the gap of your old plugs and keep an eye on them. hopefully issues don't persist.
i would be surprised if the plug fouling was caused by just one step colder plugs on a tuned SHO in ANY climate but who knows. i've always used 1 step colder plugs and never had any fouling in CO.
wonder if meth is cooling the cylinders enough to cause the fouling.

Still working!  Driving it hard.

The plug gap was normal on both banks.  it was just the amount of baked in glazed carbon.. way too cold.

If you have not replaced the pcv valve/separator, would consider that as preventive  maintenance, along with a CAC check/clean.

Glad its fixed, please tell me you added an extra zero to the boost solenoid cost though. Its a $30 part, and a 5 minute swap, if you take half the time to drink a beer.

Still, glad the car is back as it should be!

no ford charged 300 for the deal.. but i also made them replace all the damn hoses under the hood on all the secondary systems as well.

The TSB specifies these parts

AA5Z-6A666-D   PCV Valve
AA5Z-6A785-F   Crankcase Vent Oil Separator

So the motorcraft pcv valve you listed should be perfect.  I don't see the CVOS listed on their site tho?

crankcase vent oil separator

and yes, rear valve cover, pass strut tower side.  pcv valve sits atop the separator.

This is the solenoid I was referencing,  https://www.1aauto.com/turbocharger-bypass-valve-solenoid-ford-oem-bl3z-9k378-a/i/fdzmx00010

I'm guessing they charged an hour or two of labor, or the hose prices are higher than DIY hoses, because they're probably specific motorcraft parts.

Yeah,  they charged a bunch for labor after i made them validate hoses and replace all the hoses that came of that, and a bunch of the secondary hoses. 

Ultimately the full bill as around 3000$ out of pocket with about 1500-ish in warranty coverage. in total without the warranty i'd be out of pocket 4500$. keep in mind that includes a control arm, and a slew of rusted bolts and things ..

Making these cars fast is easy,  *however I am the very definition of the cautionary tale.*  if you are not able to do most your own work,  fixing things that break after tuning can be VERY expensive.
