Re: Pulled the trigger on my first mods for the EB Mustang (not detailing related)
The Silver Bullitt goes into the shop on Tuesday, they're going to install the Mishimoto Intercooler, UPR Dual Valve Catch-can with check-valves, and because it was just in the shop for a TSB (which required factory tune pcm flash), they're going to re-install my Ford Performance Tune.
We should see much better gains now, Tune + less restrictive exhaust + cooler temps in the turbo and catch can... Some would say a catch can won't provide gains, but because I'm experiencing blow-by, I'm probably losing some octane points on oil mixing with the fuel. Love this geeky turbo stuff!!
Will update when everything is done.

Turbo's rule! Keep us posted!

Got the car back today
- mishomoto intercooler installed
- UPR dual valve catch can
- verified the ProCal tune was on after last weeks maintenance.
Instant gain in power gains!

Pulled the trigger on my first mods for the EB Mustang (not detailing related)
Update first: So way back when I said I saw blue smoke at idle, the TSB and Catch-Can didn't resolve the issue. Turned out I had bad seals in the turbo, got that replaced under warranty, we're good as gold!
Ok, it's time for the next mod on the build list...
So I did the Magnaflow Cat-Back Exhaust last May, along with the Ford Performance Tune and GT500 CAI, UPR Dual Valve Catch Can, and a Mishimoto Intercooler, now it's time let this this thing vent even better by removing the very restrictive factory catted down-pipe and go with a 3" catted dp
The CV Fabrication 3" Catted Down-Pipe: Air Intake | Engine | Exhaust | Suspension | Wheels | Tires | Piping – CV Fabrication (CVF)
One of our EB Forum members is a rep from CVF so I'll be sure to do a write-up for them and maybe even a video.
The other big plan for the car is to gut the factory suspension and go with Ford Performance Track Pack: Ford Performance M-FR3A-M8A Mustang Track Handling Suspension Package Assembled Fastback EcoBoost/GT 2015-2019
This will drop the ride by 1" and stiffen up everything!
So stay tuned... :)

Thanks Pauly! I'm trying to make one FAST Ecoboost... Believe it or not it's more fun modding this car than my GT. It seems that the EB is the "Underdog" the one folks laugh at when I say it's a 4 cylinder... Yeah, until I launch it and see the look on their face. :) hehehe.
