Mine idles about 675 hot, it's an e99 4x4 auto w/ 160/30 stock turbo with billet 5+5 running jellibuilt performance tow 99% of the time. Of the tunes I currently have it has the best shift points, the rest short shift and seem to lug unless giving it 1/2+ throttle.

You say your IPR valve came in a box, are you sure on that one? The ones I bought come in a padded foil pouch inside a plastic bag with Motorcraft and Ford emblems plus part number. 3 so far all from Diesel O-rings, about the best price I found from reliable reputable source

Sure thing. A dozen or so years pumping oil wells and wrenching on their engines has turned me into something of an engine noise savant. It can be a curse when you drive around in a clattering old 7 3 all day everyday

just ordered one from diesel o rings. we'll give that a try and see if there's any change. there actually pretty simple to change out on my truck. never hurts to have a decent spare also.

Yeah, I don't throw away any of those parts. Never know when one might get you out of a bind. My kid is going to hate me whenever I kick the bucket. If she doesn't try and stick me in a home for being some kind of hoarder first.

Bob at Diesel-O-Rings one of many great resources we have available to us that we are grateful for. We are all hoping this helps you out.

After seeing the substantial differences in your mfdes #'s I remembered I still had some "custom" Gearhead tunes gone wrong that came w/ my hydra. So I loaded 1 up last night out of curiosity and my mfdes cut in half but was fluctuating more. What really threw me though was how sluggish and unresponsive it became. It took almost half throttle just to get off the line and then it felt like someone was riding the brake the whole time. Gave it a short half block wot and it was just sad. I now remember what driving underwater feels like.
