Zero mileage increase on my Bronco Raptor after the tune.. Turbo boost jumped from 18-19psi to 23-25psi.
Acceleration is vastly improved...Always run Raptor mode with (93 octane) and all settings in sport mode, exhaust wide open in baja mode.
Wasn't looking for gas mileage increase as I am on...
Called Ford Performance Techs this morning for some education.
Stock turbo boost is around 18-19 psi so gains should be in the 4-5 maybe 6 psi max.
23 to 24psi should be the norm for the tune..
Gave it a test this morning on the way to work. Was able to open it up.
Had gauges on and watched vacuum/boost. On most of the pulls, saw a 23 to 24psi read. One pull hit 25psi for a split second but most if not all peaked at 24psi.
Not sure what a stock unit produces.
Should have checked before...
Ted Britt Fairfax..Was there first Bronco. Didn't wait but they gave me a loaner, no charge. Got there at 10am. Mechanic had vehicle ahead of mine to finish. They called me at 3pm to say it was done. Also had an oil change performed...
Got mine done today at my dealership. They do these all the time from superchargers on F150's and mustangs.
They are roush certified. Anyhow, similar results such as the MTE was way up and I only had 3/4 of a tank yet it gave me a range higher than when the tank is full.
Shifts are smoother as...
My insurance covers for this. Not worried about it although I must agree that chips are a fairly regular thing if you drive on the highway and definitely don't sit behind dump trucks. They never clean their tailgate and ship flies off the back frequently especially if they carry gravel!!
That's...
So sorry to hear my friend! Seems like this is pervasive from manufacturer to manufacturer...
QC is gone and volume seems to be the number one focus...
Quality/reliability be damned..
Dealership took care of the bolt. They didn't have touch up paint for it but luckily enough, I have 2 touch up pens so Repainted and almost can't tell. Will apply second coat and some clear at a later date.
One good thing, ceramic and PPF looks
PHENOMENAL!

I am pretty sure this was repainted for whatever reason. Looking at the right side bolts, looks like the bolts were removed braking the paint bond then retightened and sprayed over the cracked paint below..
Could be wrong but that's a lot of buildup on the edge of the washer below the nut..
