Just set mine back to stock and reprogrammed it.

It went back to normal.
I noticed on my last drive it felt like it wAs only making about 70% power and boost to only about 23psi. No codes, only thing i could see not normal was turbo vanes didnt seem to be opening all the way to the percentages i normally see. Pulled over reprogrammed and back to normal.
Egr is still plugged in, @uga33 you think this is the turbo vane issue u have heard wind of?
My injection timing seems retarded compared to stock also, have u noticed the same? Of course this is main only, i cant see pilot or post etc etc

Drove another couple hundred miles and its still good. Un plugged egr today and did some towing, figured out i unplugged the wrong connector at intake throttle valve and threw a code cel light and derated about like the other day, cleared it and plugged back in all is good. Gonna drive the rest of the week, if i dont throw any codes some more stuff may fall off soon


This was my day today, damn storms
Still more to go

It was de-rating at first
Would come out of hole hard and defuel as soon as it hit 2nd
then barely make 8psi
Egt was reading 2300 all the time, never could get to throw a code
So i Un plugged the egt sensor and she back to normal.

Overall i would rate as an easy job, not near as difficult as it looks.
Cooler pulls right out, everything is easy to get to. Ford did a great job in my opinion with design on these

Talk about weight reduction! I'm curious what you're pickup could do the 1/4 mile in with so much less weight now.
