Does that mean I could bring the science box? I thought it was a prerequisite to bring a Ford to an official gathering of FTE members.

Science box sounds like a portable speed bump to me

Hey, if you guys don't want me there, just say the word. Life is too short to drive a Ford everywhere.

You can drive what you want. In the mean time I'm sitting here trying to figure out what cell phone I want the new company to buy me. Everything seems so dated in the middle of the summer. Nothing really hot and new out there right now.

I'll drive the Transit. It is always the crowd favorite.

Miles I have my old turbo off my truck.
I just don't think it would fit a 03.

Really Miles? Quite the coincidence.

If you bring your truck I'll have to ride the bike. Enough 6.0-ness has rubbed off on mine already.

Yeah Andy I think I'll need to find a pedestal as well. I'm hoping that's not it, I have other stuff to eliminate first

I would go with the Powermax if you do Miles.
I hope you don't.
What is it doing ?
You can just rebuild it.
I did mine and it is not that hard.

Well i noticed it the other day taking off hard from a stop light, didnt think anything of it, but i passed my friend on the highway today and i was into it pretty good and he said "wow your tune is smokey" but i am in stock tune... stock ficm tune as well. So i have a new air filter on the way (amazon prime woo) and ill start there, shouldnt have any IC boot leaks with brand new riffraff boots but ill double check, next is EBP sensor, MAP sensor, VGT solenoid and then turbo...my mechanic said it looked great when he cleaned it 2000 miles ago though ??

If the only the only noticeable issue is smoke then I vote to leave well enough alone beyond the free things like checking boots. No reason to start throwing money at problems that might not even exist.
