Hi all, been lurking on this forum for a bit...and posting questions too.   Figure I'd introduce myself.

My name is Rusty, I'm in the Air Force stationed in beautiful Clovis NM...been in for 13 years.   

I bought a 13 Explorer Sport back in Nov 12, and I used to have an 11 second Evo 8.   Just sold the Evo 8 for a 13 SHO, so now I have two Ecoboosted vehicles in the stable and I couldn't be happier.

Please put up with my billion questions about the Ecoboost motor, as I'm not new to turbocharged cars (had an SRT-4 Neon before the Evo and also have a 1985 Dodge Omni GLH as my daily), but this twin turbo setup is new to me.    The tuning software and such is new to me as well, so hopefully I don't annoy the hell out of you all...but there seems to be a lot of knowledge on here and I want to pick brains as much as I can!

Hope to contribute as much as I can to this forum!



Both of my babies the day I picked up the SHO:

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!

What better person to bug than an audiophile and a fellow SHO owner?   :biggrin:
