Well, I can't say I'm the most ecstatic about the 93 performance tune, haha. Unless they mislabeled the tunes, the 93 octane tune put down a [email protected]. That's less than a 2mph gain in the quarter compared to my stock run. I'm not too upset though, as I feel 5 star probably hasn't had much...

Another small update! I had to order another cable for FORScan, as the one I purchased was not recommended, nor did it work, for FORScan.... So I bought the unit they recommend, so hopefully now I can get Cruise set up, and get the extra driving modes when I get some time to do so. Also, my...

Another day, another small update. The switches came in, and I downloaded FORScan, so when I get free time I'll get the cruise control put on. Also, had my Mav for one week, and hit a deer tonight! Luckily I had slowed down to around 15mph or so, so besides the deer hair in the bumper, I don't...

Well 24 hours later and some goodies have arrived! The intercooler arrived, and it's HEAVY! 29lbs heavy... Dimensions are roughly 5" thick, 8.5" tall, and 25" wide. However, one thing that has me perplexed, is I did a few more draggy runs tonight, and at 82° ambient temps, the intake temps my...

Wasn't the pepper red reserved for a higher end trim? I do like that color, however I love my blue cars! Ford doesn't do flex fuel on ecoboost models. In my 18 F150, it ran out of fueling at E50. 5 star tuning doesn't know if they will even offer ethanol blended fuel tunes unless you upgrade...

Reserved for pics Here are some measurements for anyone interested. Front axles are just over 1", rears are just under 1", and oddly enough, the driveshaft necks down to .865"!!! Screenshot is my draggy run today. Terrible run, but not surprising with it being 94° and a DA of 3400'+ Once...

Hello everyone, this will be my personal journal and build thread that will be 99% focused on performance! As the title impies, I'm a cheap ass! I ordered QuickRik back in October, and picked it up Friday May 6th. Stock specs are: 2.0T, AWD, 4K Tow, and the only two options I splurged on were...

I love the look of these rims, do you remember the weight of the 18x8.5's? I'm hoping they run a batch of the 17x7's, as they are only 16.5-17lbs each.

Sorry I haven't posted, my maverick finally came in! Besides the fact that I need 36 hours in a day, I've been continuing on with research. My Mav is an XL, so myself and a buddy are both adding cruise in the next week. I have ordered an intercooler, some other minor components, and a few...

I haven't been able to find much on the Maverick's turbo hardware, but if it's anything like the escape, which I assume it's almost identical, then ford factory parts *should* work just fine, as long as the correct lines are chosen. I don't think this is outside the realm of people willing to...

Every new vehicle, especially turbo, runs torque management to keep components happy. They damn sure aren't in it for guys like me that want more power, they need components to last as long as possible to avoid warranty work, keep them in the black.

I have heard the same thing echoed around the forums, but I haven't yet heard of a single failure. I get that this isn't the 8F57 from the Edge ST, but I have been searching all over the place to find info, and all I keep seeing is the 8f35 being mentioned. Even when looking at the 2020+ Lincoln...

Yes I know what Dave has done. That's why I'm looking at these turbos, because I'm not paying $1000+ for a turbo upgrade, and $900 for an intercooler. I plan to have less than $1k into the performance mods of my Mav. Unless I get into the transmission side of things, then I know it'll get...

Awesome, thanks!

Do you have proof of this? I haven't heard of anyone breaking a trans yet. What generally kills trans is an overabundance of torque. With a larger turbo like this one, ironically enough, the dyno's I have seen show less peak torque than the Maverick dyno's I have seen. I'm not a fan of rushing...

Hello everyone, this is my first thread I've made here, but I've randomly been in some of the more performance oriented chats. I am still waiting for my Maverick to be delivered, it's been sitting in Chicago for 3 weeks now, not sure what they are holding it for. While waiting, I have been...

That sounds great! I assume that is a chambered muffler? Also, what diameter pipe does this kit use? 2.5"?

Quick question. are you hard mounted to the bumper? Or did you use anything to keep the intercooler from rubbing on it, like some padding? Also, Do you have any way to see what your intake temps are now that you have all that cooling capacity? Thanks

How about a cruising drive by and a wide open throttle drive by?!? I also 2nd the idea of buying a good aftermarket resonator, Like a Vibrant one. Will help with in cab drone.

Is that a TDI? A lot of guys I know regularly get over EPA in those bad boys.
