Very disappointing, having spent all this money believing you could get to a certain point only to find out you can't. So next thing is what differences are their between the NA and Turbo engine internally? Pistons are a different shape to change compression? Head chamber different size? Different rods?

Presume you bought privately and not through a dealer? Surprised your tuner didnt pick this up during the first tune. I think Ford are still selling brand new fg shorts for $3k. Hope you get it fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be an excuse to get a new motor built while you're at it though? Silver linings and all that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
