Friday special from day 1 i say.

But word of advice for any turbo driver, DO NOT let ford flash that ecu, absolute disgrace the latest flash is... Not impressed...

I got the turbo for the power and acceleration (fun), after this latest flash i may of well got a V6 camry and put a blower on it (or a unichip and the camry would still nail my car), run far better than fords latest round of intelligence... :
Not happy!!!
So the snail has gotten slower, I guess they need more :

I wish it did........... But the potential of a stock T, outweighs the potential of a stock 8.

As for the auto heat - yeah, but as long as ford keps replacing my gearbox, i really dont care - but trans cooler on the horizon!!!
Perhaps an aftermarket pump, and bigger pan to take more oil????????

AND as for the snail needing help, thats what 5 grand is for........... Then 12 seconds... : : :
