I do pretty much all my stuff off my phone with voice recognition so it gets a lot of errors and I'm not good with grammar writing anyways. So I guess what I'm not following is at first you were saying that this could cause an issue with my idle vacuum at the manifold but now you're saying it's...

So I just did a test and took the oil catch can and the check valve out of the vacuum lines so it was just lines like normal and my boost gauge didn't show any change and I waited. Made sure the engine was up to full operating temp on both of them. Now the smallest point in the lines I guess...

Yeah I've ran mine like this in many vehicles that have been N/A and boosted and never had an issue. I had a 2014 escape 2.0 that I ran like this for about 75,000k miles, it was at 133k miles IIRC when it got totaled by a red light runner and it never had issues. Well I did have to replace the...

I deleted some stuff that wasn't really needed for this topic I tried to rewrite how I do the dual check valve setup so it's a little easier to read. Hopefully this works better for you. So as far as the dual inlet catch can most cars already have that like on the broncos sport 2.0 That's that...

Yeah but it's more about getting to that couple inches more of clearance than huge tires. Yeah I've seen the the vivid but they have to take your ECU and while their local I don't like that. I'll probably just go with forced tuning since I've had them and they know the 2.0 and I still have my...

Yeah those actually look like a decent trade-off and they actually have some sidewall tread which is one thing I loved about the falcon ATW3s, although more so in the aftermarket than the ones that come on ours, those things are tiny on the Ford version. But I really want to go stress as I can...

Yeah with a tuner on these ecoboost you really can get a decent amount of extra power but since I'm going for the largest tires possible and since they're going to be basically a hybrid almost a mud terrain I don't think a tune would be even enough to make up for what I would lose with going to...

Well what I read was all smaller EcoBoost including 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 and 2.3 iirc but luckily for the baby bronco it's not an issue. And as for tuners, yeah I mean you want to do your research and make sure they're familiar with the platform and they've done tuning on it. Check reviews. That's...

It would be fun but yes these transmissions are slightly weaker So especially from a takeoff you'd want to be careful. Just smashing it to the floor but I actually drive fairly conservatively like right now my car says I'm averaging 27 miles a gallon. There is a stronger version in some of the...

No blow off valves don't make power. Now on some of the older ones. People would upgrade the blow off valves because the stock ones were made of plastic and they weren't adjustable and supposedly the aftermarket ones were stronger and they had better diaphragms and better seals and so if you...

So I'm pretty sure I covered most of that in the post but I know I have terrible writing skills so I understand if you don't want to read my whole post. I'm not going to be doing this for years if I do it at all and yes you still have to get it re-tuned which at a good shop the going rate is...

So my budget's not going to permit this for quite a while and I have other upgrades that I want to do first, but I know back when I had my Ford escape 2.0 I was looking at trying to fit one of the focus ST upgrade turbos but it was really expensive. It was like 2200 just for the turbo and then...

You're right, I didn't think about it as those 40 were just a representative sample of people on the forum and you can then apply that to the total population I'm not sure how representative of the total population that would be but understand what you're saying. I still got to disagree with...

So I kind of have to disagree with you there because I've added way more horsepower to almost every Ford that I've owned and never had a problem. Like I had a 2007 mustang V6 that I put in m90 supercharger on from a Thunderbird and I went for making like 180 horsepower to like 260 never had a...

Yeah I don't like these ones where you have to send in the ECU or take it in and they connect to it directly or anything. The tunes that I was always used to with Ford you would buy a $300 tuner online I usually got the SCT ones. It was the general consensus that SCT usually work better on...

I don't mean to sound like a dick it's just I've been through these gimmicks. It's just a filter and it's a drop in, so it's the exact same as stock except it's not paper, it's not gonna make power or help mpg at best it filters finer particulates. If you want more power you either add more...

I'm going off my experience with my 2014 escape 2.0 which sure as shit had valve deposit problems I am interested to see if this one has any but a catch goes on ally cars no matter what.

Oh also if any of you are putting a catch can on your car make this is a boosted engine so you have to do it the right way you can't just run a hose from the valve cover to the intake after the throttle body because you're creating pressure from the boost from the turbo so first you have to have...

I had a 2014 Ford escape with the 2 l engine and my catch can caught so much oil and when I was in Flagstaff in the cold it wasn't just oil it was condensation and it would make a nasty chocolate milk soup crap now I have heard on the early ones it was a much bigger problem than these newer ones...
