It really amazes me and find it quite upsetting based on reading up on the E.B platform having issues with coking of the intake valves which is nothing new to us,but after reading on the F150 forums and others find it amazing the amount of bashing of outside vendors due to there false products and scams especially on the oil catch can front,no wonder they simply dissapeared from this forum which is a good thing,just did not want to disclose any names or titles of the co,would be great to have a section on which vendors to avoid which i mentioned a while back,personally i think it really would benefit everyone and avoid a costly mistake,thanks,Z.

Well, I'm not sure it's a "scam" necessarily. Under boost PCV operation reverses and all of that crap exits the clean side into the front turbo. When those gasses hit the charge cooler and everything falls out of suspension I believe it falls to the bottom of the charge cooler and if too much builds up over time it will get sucked up into the intake stream. There is a thread somewhere that shows how to check your CAC for buildup and iirc one member had pretty substantial buildup.

I have seen Ford's training vid on our PCV system and operation is exactly as vendors have described. Whether or not it falls out of suspension in the CAC is speculation but I don't think it is an unreasonable assumption.

And it will be interesting if the Z2S IC pulls even more out of suspension.  Hopefully it has a drain plug on it.

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!

Of course the asymmetric design will still have that stuff hitting the compression impellers of the front turbo...coking the blades up before it gets to the IC to condense... with the back spared this insult... it has to decrease turbo performance and longevity.

FoMoCoSHO good luck on the DP install,after having it done twice on my car found it beneficial to use some PB blaster liberally before removing those bolts,and two sets of gaskets to ensure a leak free system,hope this helps and good luck to you.Z    http://www.tascaparts.com/auto-parts/2013/ford/taurus/sho-trim/3-5l-v6-gas-engine/exhaust-system-cat/exhaust-components-scat

Got my first speeding ticket in the last 5 years.  Helluva a run considering how I drive, hopefully I can go another 5! lol

Was nailed going 12 over.  I had my radar detector muted and I wasn't paying attention.  Took off hard at a stop light and came around a corner and there the trooper was. 

Seeing if an attorney can reduce the ticket to a non moving violation.  Right now it's 4 points but gets reduced to 2 points if I pay the $170 fine within 20 days. 

If this is the worst thing that happens today, then I'm doing alright I suppose!
