The 2014. 2 door, special edition, fully optioned except blacked out hood. Right now you can’t tell it’s S. charged. Until you step on it

Just finished mine on Friday on startup you can’t hear any blower evidence until your about 1200rpm in gear. Unfortunately on the drive home I noticed a coolant leak on the passenger side that burned off on the passenger side cat that filled the cab lol. So it’s back at the shop this week to iron out some minor bugs. Really impressed so far on 2 days of driving !

That sucks! I hope I don't have any issues after I drive it. Planning to fire it up tomorrow.

I am still waiting on JDM to get me a revised tune. Haven’t driven the truck in 2 weeks. Spoke to Nick there yesterday. Was suppose to have had the tune at the first of the week. Hopefully it happens real soon.


Landon T,

Did your shop get your leak sourced and fixed?

The leak was a twisted gasket on the passenger side valve cover. Easy fix and trucks been running great.

As for the tune it’s from JDM also. I ordered an email tune for my previous iTSX but for a number of reasons it couldn’t get loaded into the truck.

I even went to Ford and put the ECM back to stock thinking maybe then the iTSX could install the JDM built tune... no luck.

Talking with Nick he said it was in the best interest to buy a SCT x4 and have the tune built from the ground up again. Also noted they were swamped and it could be 3-4 weeks with shipping to my area.

Truck runs great with the roush tune and Melling engine oil pump. Put about 800 miles on the build so far with no hiccups. Mileage is not far off than stock driving respectably at 14-16mpg

Sup guys... Just got my Stage 2 kit with the new 68mm throttle body..
I've already mounted the HE. Tried installing the Intercooler reservoir. The mount points didn't match the hole patterns on the driver side frame. Left pics and email to support over the weekend, and no reply on Monday..

In anycase.. Thanks a million Johnpappy!!! Your pic of how the new IC holes going over the passenger side will save me tons of headaches.. I'm glad I saw your post..

BTW.... Where did you mount the relays for the pump and fans?

Ford changed the hole locations in the frame for the 2011-2014 models.
So us 2010 1/2 owners will have drill holes to make the newer larger HE kit (designed in 2013) bolt up.

I have my relays in the engine bay right behind the radiator on the drivers side.
You can put them anywhere you want (may have to add wire), but try to keep them from getting soaked.
