    Anatomy of an Ecoboost Article

    I found this to be a very well written article on the way the ecoboost operates. It is written in layman’s terms for the mechanically inclined amateur and assumed limited prior knowledge. It’s a good primer for understanding what is happening under your hood...

    Stage 4 CRP Turbos Revisted (ZFGRACING)

    Afternoon, I created a new thread because the old one doesn’t do it justice. As many of you are aware, I was disappointed with my previous tune and build. AFE intake, WHIPPLE intercooler, AMS intake tubes, CRP stage 4 turbos, CRP manifolds, Kooks Downpipes, 170 degree thermostat. I came...

    CRP stage 4 build (lower than expected power levels)

    RCI METALWORKS, beware of it being less coverage

    Nice quality. The skids are smaller than stock. I’ll keep the gas tank skid but the rest is going back. This would be better suited for an F150 platinum or something. Im going to go with Ford Performance since it covers as much as the factory OEM.

    Side vents — how do you remove them?

    I don’t just want to pry them off, even though I suspect they are just clips. I also don’t want to take down the front fender liners to verify if someone else has already done this maneuver. how do you get off the side vents to change them? Anyone?

    Skid plate Q&A — I have questions if you have answers.

    The title says it all. I’m doing a bit of an overhaul of my truck. One of the things I noticed, living in the NE is that I have some surface rust on the under belly skids. I want to go aluminum. RCI metalworks and Foutz are my top contenders. Anyone have either and can comment? Foutz...
