What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

This is correct. A turbine is a turbine. the raptor doesn't have some magical special turbine.

The best exhaust for a turbo car is nothing after the turbine housing.

you may want to do some testing. There is more to tuning a motor and exhaust, in particular, a turbo motor, than " no backpressure is better".

Got you and what your saying is true I have read it somewhere but the power delivery on this truck is amazing after the exhaust and intercooler based on tube and fin the one o have now is a big no for me as I got overheating again and it blocking my radiator.

well, that's a little different. all things considered, evacuating heat more expeditiously is probably far more important to you as opposed to max HP if you're having heat issues.

The truck performance is great but I’ll have to test more and give you feedback or it.

Exactly right but I will be trying every option available to sort it out.That being said I am doubting it is the cylinder head causing the heat issue.

Did 2 things today...
1. Added the ford alarm shock sensor (add-on for the 802a oem security)
I chose to mount it using HD velcro and zip ties.
2. Added bed led lights. ( generic, from amazon)
Anyway, not done yet, lol
I still need to clean up wiring and waiting on a few things to finish mounting stuff on the bed. ( I still need to mount my 1100 watt inverter, Pro Eagle big wheel Jack, etc...)

man I really like the lighting all around vs one or two S1 or similar spotlights added to the bed. I might have to think of something similar!

Is the 1100 W inverter in addition to the existing inverter? Or are you planning on replacing the 400 W with the 1100 W? I've toyed with the idea of replacing the 400 W with a larger inverter (1000 W or so) and then still use the existing power outlets that come stock. Would have to check wiring sizes and and fuses and such........... 400 W is just not enough...........

Its an Energizer 1100 watt inverter. (a gift)
The stock one can handle small electronics, but not most power tools.
So Im keeping the stock and putting the bigger inverter by the bed, closer to my Auxiliary AGM battery. This part of my bed cover area (non folding part) is pretty much sealed, as I added extra weather strips and rtv sealant in between.(see pic)
I actually looked at the stock inverter under the rear seat, and I dont think the stock wires could handle more than the 400watts rating.(maybe someone else can chime in)

I’m prepping it for our 4x4 surf fishing here in Long Island.
(lots of loose sand and deep ruts in some locations, so airing up and down is a biggie) I did most of this stuff to my previous jeeps and trucks. I wish I had more mounting options tho, lol
(for the fishing gear, recovery stuff etc)
