Goodbye 2011 SHO...

ecoboostsho · June 30, 2015, 09:59:24 AM

Hello 2013!

I ended up trading in my black 2011 PP for this 2013 model in white with 20K on the odometer for less than $30K. This car also has the Performance Package! I traded the wheels off of my old car since I had brand new all season tires on them and I couldn't decided if the flower wheels were really working for me. I'm most excited about the extra cooling for the PTU/Trans/Oil (okay mostly the PTU). Here is a quick crappy picture until I have time for some better ones!

Bought the car in Wisconsin...

Thanks Guys...Well I wouldn't say they "gave" me an extended warranty but I did pay for one.

Plugs are already the SP534's in the 2013 correct?? Do I need to pull them and regap if/when I decide to retune?

I would check the gap for sure, mine came with SP534s. You will be able to check your tire pressures and PTU temp now lol. Congrats on the ride very nice.

Nice - congrats. That white will be a heck of a lot easier for you to keep clean!

Nice pick up. Sounds look me. I just traded my 11 in for a 14 with the PP about two weeks ago.

The 13SHO originally came with the SP-528 which are platinum plugs,and later they updated them to the SP-534 which are iriduim,but they have the same part #on the plugs though. Z

Congratulations! Hopefully, the PTU issues are behind you!

Good to know. I am going to pull a couple of plugs anyway to check on their condition.

I just randomly found one of the blow off valves was unplugged (the electrical connector) while looking around the engine!! I'm guessing it is fine but I wonder how that happened...

Me too! I had the fluid swapped at another dealer and they said everything "looked" fine but then it still kept puking it out on the garage floor. Maybe they just overfilled it - not sure. With the cooled PTU and the ability to monitor temperature I am going to be a lot happier.

Nice upgrade!

I would have kept the "flower wheels", really makes the 13+ SHOs pop out.

Your current wheels would look really good powder coated.

Glad to see you are enjoying the new ride! The bov being unplugged is a bit odd.. hope it was just from some warranty work being done.
