Dont hold anything back, just because some people who never really contribute other then criticize other people contribution or opinion. Look his thanks on the forum very self explanatory. lol

Go ahead and ask, nothing wrong with that.

Rob, if you're going to try to call somewhat out, the least you can do is learn how to speak their language properly. I don't attempt to insult you in Polish.

The 1.6 Ecoboost (like in my Fiesta ST) has a traditional cast iron bolt on exhaust manifold.





Ah, thanks for clarifying that.

that list says MAP sensor. I'm assuming the car uses both a MAP and MAF sensors, OEM's usually use MAP sensors to measure boost and MAF's for driveablity. so that location for the MAP sensor is where boost is measured... which doesn't makes sense to me unless it has 2 of them (other being in the manifold) and they're using this sensor for additional parameters, maybe some sort of fail safe...

The Mustang EcoBoost uses 3 map sensors;
T-map on the intake mani, another T-map on the intercooler outlet, and a 'gut check' 1 bar sensor on the vent hose between the valvecover and intake.
There may be similarities in the FoRS.

If there really is an allocation of cars and then no more, this tells me the company is losing money on the car. Otherwise, if they could sell 10 million they would make them.
