Removing the BOV completely is a BAD idea. Closed-throttle surge may not be as bad as open-throttle surge but it will still cause damage.
Going VTA may not be great for the truck either - I don't know enough about the Raptor to say for sure. The 2.3L Mazdaspeed engine (EcoBoost predecessor)...
The important thing is to keep your engine clean and lubricated. Oil may be the most important factor in doing this but it's definitely not the only factor. Oil filter is an obvious one. Air filter and PCV system are also very important and should be checked more often than most people do...

I'm not saying Mobil 1 is junk. I'm simply stating a fact based on my previous research for other applications - that several Mobil 1 competitors regularly performed better based on actual UOA's in those applications.
500whp sounds like a big number but from a 5.7L engine that's only 88 hp/L...
I can't speak for the EcoBoost platform specifically but I own a few high output DI turbo cars and based on all the UOA's I reviewed for those platforms, Mobil 1 synthetic definitely didn't perform as well as several of its competitors.
The oils I trust are Rotella-T6, Pennzoil Platinum, and...
Picked up a new company truck on Wednesday to develop some of our shock technologies for serious off-road applications..
Joining the forum to learn more about these trucks and the community. I've loved cars for as long as I can remember but was never involved with the off-road stuff until a...
