I initially wanted to do 1k miles but the service manager assured me 5K was fine, seems excessive from growing up on flat tappet cams but we’ll see what happens... Dealer made me pretty confident about the decision though, and are cool with some mild mods without voiding my engine warranty
Cool beans, why do you want a charge pipe?

I changed at 1000. Just couldn’t leave it. Using Mobil 1 so now I’m curious what the throttle body will look like. I pretty much baby it.
Don’t worry about it....It will be fine.

Running Mobil 1 since 1000. I checked the tb for compatibility with my Fusion Sport and the intake was coated with oil before I installed my catch can at 1700 miles. Then tied in the breather side at 5000. At 6400 I sent out the tb to get bored out. It was very dry at that point.

Been there! Sorry Man! Someone hit my Mustang and took off. :mad: Insurance took care of it after my deductible was paid...

Hopefully there is a special place in hell for people that hit and run!

All I did was drive it to pick up dinner and reattach the clamp that fell off my Truxedo bed luggage bag because I must have overloaded it yesterday!

I’m mainly assuming that when an intercooler hits the market it will come as a package w/ pipes for an easier/aesthetically pleasing installation

will an intercooler impact a turbo truck like say a VW GTI? I would have thought truck cooling larger just based on truck work and pulling. Something a GTI would not be designed for. Unless Ranger tuned highly, then intercooler understood. Just wondering.
