"Went to my local ford dealer they had the studs in stock!" Gee I wonder why...

Done for the night almost there. Both turbos are in with all vacuum lines and connectors in. The starter is also back in. Just have the piping and y pipe left then top off with new coolant and an oil change. Heres the passenger turbo

Great progress, RR! Looks like the hard work is paying off.

Very nice! Are you in the lower mainland by any chance? I would like to hear your exhaust as I think that is the way I'm going.

Yes i do im around Abbotsford.


Finished it up late lastnight and started it up! First thing truck barley ran. It was backfiring and idling rough. Figured id check and tighten my BOV's and sure enough it cleared right up. Gave me a big scare thats forsure! Checked for any oil and coolant leaks and checked all good.

First test drive on a base tune from MPT, pretty good. There are things i dont like right now but im sure i can get it changed. Power wise cant say no WOT on this tune but its crazy below 2000rpm!!! The turbos are i say twice as loud as a tuned ecoboost. All i hear is sucking air with a sealed s&b intake! Going to try datalogging today and get a revised tune.

Awesome that it's all back together and running!

I may PM you sometime to meet up, I would really like to see what yours sounds like. I'm leery about getting exhaust and it being too loud.

Ok sounds good! Mine is very quite i have solo performance high flow y pipe with the full race resonated catback. So i have 2 resonators and one muffler with this setup

Glad to hear! I noticed that your BOV are on the turbo's, correct? If that is right was there a reason you didn't cap and go with a BOV on the charge pipe?

Yes, i want too but i dont know what to do with the original vacuum lines and sensors that go from the intake manifold to the turbos. I think i would get a cel if i capped those off?
