What did you do to your Ranger today?

[subquark]

But any uneducated vehicle owner will think that Soupie is manufactured by a Fiat based company. May even, instead of a "Soup Red" start calling it "Spaghetti Sauce Red" !!!

Too late, Soupie's other gig! =D

Allegedly, has something to do with the components being set up to allow the diverter to open and close partially instead of being just 'open / shut' like stock.

I've noted some difference here myself. Wouldn't call it a HP gain but it doesn't seem to just jettison all the boost when you let off the throttle then whomp it again, which is essentially the situation we're talking about.

If you partially let off then jump back on the throttle, ideally it should only divert part of the boost that you let off, not all of it, allegedly, GoFast parts allows for that after upgrading by modifying the stock diverter slightly.

... allegedly.

which model did you get?

I've noticed less jerking and hesitation - not a lot, and maybe psychological, but it seems a tiny bit smoother in some circumstances (like letting off the gas and stomping on it right after).

Mine's not the "look at me hissing, do I have a flat" version but I think it affects the same thing.

Mine is the T-9465....cause that's what was for sale.

I installed my 'The Wiz' last night. It was a giant pain in the toocas. But... its awesome. It takes the audio signal from my HAM radio and directs it to the driver front (DF) speaker. When signal is received, the Wiz mutes audio from the DF speaker, plays the comms audio, then resumes music after a ~2 second delay. The HAM is under the passenger's seat and was incredibly hard to hear the internal speaker. This plays in the door speaker and is really, really loud (volume controlled via the face plate on the HAM radio, independently of the radio). For anyone who uses their comms a lot, I *HIGHLY* recommend this. And it was ~$50.

technically, the correct spelling is 'ass' but I was trying to be good.

With mine, when I hear a Wooooosh, I have to figure out, (at my age) if it was the valve or me "woooooshing".....

I still like the Thunder badges/grill on mine from Ford EU.

Badges clearly were worth +5HP

Next to stock for comparison.

Installed a GoFast VTA Blow Off Valve I got from another member. Haven't done any other engine mod's but the price was too good to pass up.
If you look verrrrrry closely you can just see the additional HP just oozing from the installed mod !!!
Strange thing tho, it seems to work. I have always experienced a bit of "lag" when making a sharp right turn....just a momentary power drop.... from a stopped position....like slowly turning from a stop sign or red light while applying gas. Once thru turn Truck always came right back.
Now, while making the same turn, no lag....power stright thru the turn....
Yea !!!
(Also makes a neat "woooooshing" sound)

I want to try these upgrades and more but the ESC. keeps holding me back.

I did the mid-bed tie down undelete mod this week. Not worth pictures but I'll say it makes securing things near the tailgate easier.

Also, if you have a spray-in bedliner added to your truck, make sure they block the entire bolt hole. I'm guessing my place used a golf tee or rolled up masking tape. The threads were clear but the liner covered the opening enough the bolts wouldn't bite.

New tires. Wildpeak AT4. Upgraded from AT3. I had uneven wear from aggressive cornering and my back tires were completely bald (like a baby’s butt) from too much fun. Going off-roading this weekend! Should have taken a picture of my completely 0 tread back tires but forgot.
