In the turbos I've had, a measured and steady depression of the accelerator gets the turbo into boost as quickly and smoothly as possible, whereas dropping the accelerator to the floor results in a moment of stall followed by a sudden lurch of acceleration. What exactly the right pacing is for...
Agreed. I would likely edit my review to reflect that massive external public pressure was instrumental in moving them do the right thing and, while I give them credit for stepping up when confronted, buyer beware possible--even likely--costly shenanigans and questionable integrity.
It's easy enough to edit or delete a Google Review. So, once the dealership does the right thing, folks here can decide if it's the right thing for them to change or delete their negative review.
I live at 7200 and spend a lot of time at 9000 plus. Turbos really don't struggle with air intake at higher altitudes the same way naturally aspirated engines do. What's more, in my understanding and experience, your turbo is going to be spinning faster because of the lower air density, meaning...
This morning a date appeared under built on my tracker. It doesn't show production as completed, but hopefully on the verge of updating.

Thatās it for the weather. Over to you Todd.
Thanks, Chet. Just breaking now, authorities are charging several individuals with the attempted theft ofāget thisātheir own brand new cars.
On the testing "conventional wisdom" front, I'd love to see some evidence that Ford runs their engines through a break-in before installing them. I feel like we're in danger of adding more myths than we're dispelling here.
And, fuel for the fire:
For what it's worth (10 cents with inflation!) I think the "maxed out tranny" is also unsubstantiated "conventional wisdom." The only technical documents I've seen have suggested that the 1060R has the same torque rating as the 1080R. Yes, there's a general naming convention, but it doesn't seem...
Not a slight on anyone--I'm sure the OP is a better driver than me--but I know that when I've been driving NA for awhile, it takes me some getting used to modulating the throttle properly for best acceleration with a turbo. Usually dropping the pedal to the floor as fast as you can gets a...
