I doubt it, if it were such an easy fix Ford surely would of done it already. At least you would hope.

 

It is that easy. I can tell you from first hand experience that this is what at least of the major aftermarket turbo companies recommends to people who live in humid climates. It will push out the condensation and have a negligible effect on boost levels.

 

Ford has the EPA to deal with. I'm sure it is not a simple process.

 

There has to be a reason they haven't just added a drain line. Either it effects boost contrary to what some say or something else unforeseen like pollution control.
What ever the reason the condensation shudder is very dangerous and potential killer even if it only effects 1% of all ecoboost trucks.

 

If u knew exactly where the condensation would puddle up u could drill a hole at the spot. Thread it and put an electric purge valve in and just wire it to an auto timer in the cab with a manual button too to purge the system every so often. Or rig it up so it auto purges every 20 minutes or so if certainn conditions are met like speed about 45, etc.

 

He's baaaaaaaaaAaaaaaackkkk!

 

Your wwest sense see must of been tingling

 

A blow off valve at the lowest point is all you would need. Let the boost blow it out as needed.

 

Has anyone just bypassed the CAC. A friend told me that he knows someone who just bypasses the CAC, EXCEPT in hot weather when he is towing a heavy load. Don't know how he does the bypass or switches it.

 

After reading through this discussion (whew), I was interested in the idea of a small hole, so I did a few calculations on the impact a small hole would have on air flow at the exit end of the CAC. Given a 20psi pressure differential between the CAC and outside atmosphere (i.e. at a high boost) and a small 1mm hole, I calculated that only 0.24 cfm of air would flow through that hole, which is negligible compared to the 100s of cfm flowing through the CAC during boost. Given these numbers, I was brazen enough to drill a1mm at the bottom of the CAC at the exit. I figure that if needed, I can plug the hole back easy enough). Unfortunately, it is a blind test, since I have no way of measuring before or after results, but driveability and seat of the pants feel appears unchanged (as I would expect from such a small flow). The only thing I've noticed is a very small amount of oil that has come through the hole. I live in central Florida and coming up to the rainy season, so I'm curious how this will work out long term on my ecoboost! Has anyone else given this a try?
