Best bag for your buck is tune followed by meth injection. I have it on all my ecoboost. It adresss many of the same issues all at once. Removes the need for catch can because fuel over the valves will keep them clean Cools the iats so not as much need for a larger intercooler. None of mine sport bigger coolers and Im even big turbo on my rs. Give you a very nice power boost from the added octane and cooler temps. These systems work well cause you are able to run regular fuel all the time and you only spray meth when you hit a pre set boost level. On my car its low because Im looking for power all the time, in my truck it set higher so only when Im wide open is it spraying. Hence I can go a very long time on one tank of meth. Tune will run about $600 with handheld unit and the meth setup will be between $800 and $1500 installed. Depends on the system. I run alky so I can run straight meth vs water and meth.

Im not sure Id boost was increased. Ill be down working that way this week and will be able to swing in. I know from previous tunes from them it usually is but at about 2 percent. As far as 93 octane it seems to be a wash for savings. The way I looked at it was I got about 52 miles more per tank so about two gallons. Saved about $7 in mpg. Filling with 93 cost about $11 more per tank so it cost about $4 more per tank to run the 93. Well worth the added bonus of have a fun car to drive and having a much safer oct fuel. I ran 93 in mine anyway so it was a gain for me. What one must remember is that to run 87 the ecu is making correction for knock which is bad. So while running 87 you are constantly having timing and boost pulled to help ward off knock. Now that being said if you have easy acces to e85 you are good either way. 5 gallons e85 topped with 93 is the way to go. E85 is cheap and helps offset cost and provides the biggest gains by a wide margin. I run e30 about 25 percent of the time. Ill even go out of my way when its hot out to run it. Byproduct of any alcohol is heat removal. Had this tuned when new and at 24,000 miles now and its been driven very hard. Cant wait to get to the strip and see what time I can get.

I know its bit old but I would start at the plugs. Or fuel. Those are the two most common. Low oct fuel can cause low speed pre ignition that will give those symptoms. That is very bad. My guess would be improper gapped plugs. They are supposed to come pre gapped from ford at around .032 but Ive had them in the 40s. I personally run one step colder and gap them down to 28 thou. Very common thing for the st and higher hp ecoboost. Helps with detonation. Those are the most common things that cause what you describe.

The baffle plate for it and most of it is under the intake. On the front side of the engine. The breather plate starts low on the front then its fed around the drivers side to the back side of the intake.

Forgot to add easy of install is easy. Plug in tuner snap photos of startagy code and vin it gives you. Send back to them. Them they send you an email and it load to the tuner by itself. Then plug in tuner to obd2 and it walks you through in less than 5 min. Very easy my wife even does it when she doesnt feel like mixing e85. Side note I was able to race a tuned st and he was not able to pull on me. He followed me to ask if I was big turbo or not. Im trying to find a stock st to really test it out.

They did not have it available until just recently. Thats why mine had to spend a week at the shop. The only tunes I had them build for me was a 93 performance, and e30. The reason I did that is because if I was to ever tow or need to run 87 I would run stock I have others for my truck and RS but they never get used so I didnt waste any time on them. Mpg seemed to increase 2mpg over the same 2,000 mile trips I make for work. The drivability is by far worth the tune alone. Even my wife says its so much better to drive less shifting more acceleration and better throttle position. I believe it cost me $500 for the tuner that holds 5 tunes. That gets you the tuner and acces to the entire library so if you change vehicals you can bro g it to the next one free of charge as long as they have files already for it. I believe I gained only 16whp peak to peak but the band of power is so much bigger. Same peak vs peak power for the e30 tune. The 93 gained 31 trq and widen that by a huge amount. The e30 tune gained 103trq. And very early on. I will have 1/4 times around sept when I go to track day. They just had one sat but it was to hot for me.

So lms has done my 15 3.5 truck and got me to 12:60 1/4 and I use it to haul all the time. Had it done at 300 miles with tune and meth injection. Im at 150,000 hard miles. So I had them build my 16 rs its is such a beast. So naturally I turned to them to tune my wifes 17 2.0. Well the hp numbers are not crazy but the trq is nuts. I had them do a e30 tune which is 5 gallons e85 topped off with 93. Its not chirps the tires when launching and its an awd. Very fun to drive now. So if anyone was on the edge pull the trigger. Next year Im having them put my turbo off my rs on it cause its very close to a Direct fit. I was able to pull 389whp out of that turbo so it should be plenty.

You should have lms send you the e30 tune which is 5 gallons e85 topped with 93. I had them do it for my 2.0 and my brother in laws 2.7 f-150 its like going from stock to the 93 tune. Coming from 93 to e30 is that good.
