Just creating a new thread to discuss my next build plans after my 2016 2.7 Ecoboost blew up for those who might see this thread for the first time.

Heres a picture of the truck. Just want to put it here so it’s visible on the cover of this thread

Hey guys… so my CVF intercooler will not fit my 2022 f150. The connection to the cold side won’t work, the elbow that came with the Intercooler is not long enough to reach the plastic pipe on my truck. Any thoughts? If I truly can’t make it work, I’ll be selling it and getting the V2. The V2 Titan is made for 2015-2023. The regular Titan is 2015-2020

Maybe a cold side pipe might fit. Maybe reach out to CVF if not someone will buy your old intercooler.

I was about to suggest other silicone piping suppliers, that sell 45 degree bends with long in/out lengths for trimming. But you have solved the problem! KM

So, I’ve plugged in my SCT Livewire to my new truck and I’ve been watching boost and OAR. I floored it earlier today and boost peaked to 16.96 psi. Guess that’s stock boost levels!

I'm at sea level. Literally.
And my digital (PID) boost gauge will save the high mark until a key cycle. So even though I would rarely be looking at the gauge during a WOT event, I can subsequently view the high mark.

Interestingly it's not always the same, so I too believe that there are multiple parameters in play that determines how much boost will be required to meet the torque request. The most common high mark is ~17psi, but there are times it exceeds the 18.0psi mark.

100% OEM calibration, but with blended fuel. (93+E85>~E20)

I've noticed my KR is much more active in my 21 vs my 13. Where the 13 I knew exactly how it would act and effect my OAR, I can't predict when this 21 will change. It's a lot more precise. I'm on roughly 91-92 octane right now (I played with a tank of 90 rec gas previously) and OAR has settled at -.75

Ok, so I’m debating either Cobb exhaust or Corsa Sport. I like the look of both. I like the gurgly throaty sound of the Corsa.. one of the reasons I had bought it before. But I’m worried it’s too loud. The Cobb doesn’t have that burble, but it’s got a nice tone to it. Any thoughts?

Cobb. I have heard them on the newer platform, sounds great

High mount intercooler installed today! I did not need to remove the intercooler shutter assembly like the previous generations so that was nice. However I had to cut the radiator shutter assembly a bit in order to fit the intercooler. All in all, it looks amazing! I’m glad I chose black as I wouldn’t want to see the silver under there.

Matt, you keeping the air dam under the bumper? Is it the version with the moving parts? KM

What do you mean? You mean the air dam and intercooler shutters for the old intercooler? If that’s what you mean, then yes. I will put my license plate holder back on though so it kinda covers up the useless hole now.

It's all in naming differences but some newer F150 have a extending under bumper air dam operated according to vehicle speed. KM
