Agree! Would also explian the large amounts of smoke and burning smells, if the pump went, then went gears and bands......... Black as Tar that oil was. Car weas not modified - as quoted by dealer "The whole car is stock". Ford warranty are just &^$%(!@*#^)(^(@( (*^%#(*!&^(*@^(*^ Moral of this lesson - by an E-Series OR I Should of bought a Toyota, fit the blower to the V6............... Cheers

Well at least if i got the cast iron - i would not have to worry about blowing autos, there is barely enough power there to make the trans go.....  : : :the_finge : As for holding together - we can debate that one, i left A-Series out a for a reason..... Why? Because AUIII XR8 MAN has one.. :hihi: _2: :1syellow1And as for a good car - Jury will be forever out on that one.....

Ford honoured the warranty..................... But as for silver slug - you drive a V8, you are forgiven for not seeing the light. : :Poor Madmanz - he cant help the fact he doesn't know any better. :hihi:  : :

Got the silver thing back this avo. :1syellow1
Car has never driven that good, or shifted so smoothly or firmly. 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!!!
