Ronin thanks for this post. You have helped me a lot setting my tuner to do what I need. I haven't towed my RV yet but I did tow a 7000 lb cargo trailer and it was better. So another dumb question is can I do this with the tuner I have. Im still not looking for speed just want better mpg and for my truck to run better. Thanks again for your help.

Joe you can do this on ANY truck, bone stock to tuned to fully built, your tuner/tune won't need any adjustments, just enjoy the lower EGTs which are gonna be real handy for towing!

(spelling errors fixed, sorry, I have a problem...)

ANYWAY, the main reason I bought this kit was because I saw a whole bunch of people on some other not to be named forums talking about how ridiculously expensive it is...

Likewise I could easily fab up my own kit, but why bother, the PowerStroke Connection's kit includes everything you need and is plug and play and super straight forward. I'll pay for that and not have to run to the hardware store or speed shop repeatedly while becoming increasingly and gratuitously aggravated.

This is a true catch can, NOT a dump can, it recycles the air back into the intake while all the crap gets caught in the can for draining. After only a few weeks we noticed how well it was working on my buddy's '08 F350.

You wanna save a couple of bucks and ham and egg one out of stuff laying around your garage on a $25K engine? Good luck!

i work on @ a speed shop ...its for hondas ..but the truck gets its share of work done ...the tube was easy....as far as the catch can i got a supplier for my catch can that i can make him make me what ever ...what i wanted to really know was if the air does have to circulate back into the intake or can i cover the intake tube ..is it a vacuum of some sort ?

thanks again

yes...

...no...

...maybe...

I've seen it both ways, the method that the PowerStroke Connection uses in their kit is most preferably in my opinion...

Exactly.

You work at a speed shop, right? I'm sure you can figure it out...

I LOVE it when people complain about how expensive something is, how they can do the same exact thing for a whole lot cheaper...and then want help reverse engineering someone's product...

I'll assume you're not self-employed or don't own a business, if you were you'd likely have a different tune about taking food off a small businessperson's table.

I completely understand wanting to save a few bucks, but if you can't figure it out for yourself, especially considering it's particularly simple, maybe a little respect in the form of purchasing the kit from the guy you're considering knocking off would the best thing to do to begin with...?

So endeth the lesson.

??? Huh

I'm NOT the one selling it, I'm only an end-user/consumer, but coming from a small business owner family, I can appreciate the work that the PowerStroke Connection put into getting this kit together, so I'm not exactly in the position to help anyone reverse engineer it to save a few bucks. Not gonna apologize for that either...

Bully for you for figuring it out too...pretty basic really...

Ronin,

You recommend this before any other mods to the truck? I have a used 08 F250 with 20k miles on it I picked up a few weeks ago.

Any update to the inter cooler pipe? How are the trucks running with them? Anyone running another pipe besides Spartan? MBRP, BD, Cobb's? There's one on eBay, IC300 for only $139. Least expensive I found.
