Thanks guys. I kinda figured that was the deal. I really dont plan on doing a bunch of mods. Just put in a new dp this past weekend ( thank God for potra powers!) Fixin to order an authentic TYMAR intake and plan on Jody putting in a chip. After that the only power upgrades will be when the original stuff breaks.

I installed my pyro and boost gauge pre mods. At one point I noticed less boost then before. After many discussions with Ford they covered a couple injectors.
Ran fine, but they were not fueling they way they should have. Never would have noticed without the gauge there.
