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

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...

Im guessing it was the rear that was unplugged correct. Z

Sorry for the short reply earlier,little busy with kids graduation and all,figured probably the previous owner changed the plugs and moved the bov out of the way,especially to change #6plug,BTW does the rear valve cover look new,cause had mine replaced under warranty for an oil leak. Z

Let the honeymoon begin all over again!!!

Congrats on the new aquasition, PTU worries behind...and if I know you, all those new parameters to monitor!!!

Any plans for this one yet?

Well so far I've just been cleaning it up and debadging it etc...  The plastic on the center console has about a billion scratches on it so I've been attempting to polish those out. 

As for performance probably just the "usual".  Tune, Intake, Plugs, Thermostat, 3 Bar...maybe downpipes eventually.

Right now I've just got a K&N drop in and am debating about just going that route for now and selling my modified airaid with cover.  Would probably go MDesign eventually.

I got the car from the dealer and while they claimed they put in premium I'm guessing it was mixed with crappier gas because my LOR is currently only at -.67.  I put a half tank of 93 in it and a bit of E85 to help get things going in the right direction.

I have to say I really love 2013 features over the 2011 so far.  It's a lot of little stuff and nothing that would have made me want one (if it wasn't for my PTU issues) but still nice to have.  The biggest improvement so far has been the brakes!  I'm not sure it actually stops better than my 2011 with EBC pads and rotors BUT the pedal improvement and modulation of the brakes is outstanding (relatively speaking) - can't wait to get rid of the junky stock rotors which are already showing some signs of warping when braking down from high speeds.

I finally figured out what "sport" mode is on the 2013+...I had a "sport" mode on the 2011 for advance track on the Performance Package and I still have it on the 2013 but now I also have the "sport" mode that affects the transmission settings (holding gears etc...) and I have to say I really like it.  I was always wondering what everyone was talking about with "sport mode" locking out 6th gear and holding gears longer etc...LOL.

MyFord Touch > Sync all day long.   My backup camera actually comes on in time to go backwards out of a parking spot due to the low boot up time.

I'm also going to enjoy reading tire pressures in Torque and who knows what else I can find.  Should be fun!

...and finally - NO FREAKING PEELING CHROME TAILIGHTS... I will not miss those things.

The equation that I am using for the PTU temp in torque is the same as the transmission. It seems to line up exactly with what Forscan is reporting. I think I'll go through my 13+ exclusive PIDs and do an how to just for that to keep it all in one place.

That would be great!  I would like to link to your post from my original Torque post as well.

Novus has a plastic polish kit that might be just the center stack needs, ecoboostsho!  8oz version is cheaper per oz, but:

I have used this product on the center console and it worked great.

Excellent tip guys!  It's on order!!

Congrats. I'm jealous big time!  The novus plastic polish works really well on the console. You will be glad you bought it.

Congrats on the upgrade.  I've had my '13 for a few now and love it, my gas mileage is still suffering because I call it the honeymoon phase of having a new car.  Still fun to push the loud pedal lol.

Thanks for the tip on the Novus.

Maybe I should start a new thread but what boost levels are you 2013+ guys seeing stock?  I can consistently hit 12PSI and my 2011 would top out at 10 PSI stock.  The car feels very responsive (granted I am running an E85 blend at around 18%) and I am almost wondering if my "new" used car isn't tuned already although I bought it from a Ford Dealer??  I realize there could be a host of reasons affecting boost levels.

Does anyone know if the mycal can tell if the car is stock or not?  (I know it can tell if the tuner has programmed your specific car or is stock but I didn't know if it could tell me if the car is running a stock tune or not generically)
