    Wow...that must be a manufacturing defect..wonder if he contacted Ford and got anything for it.

    Sometimes this type thing depends on the tuner, unless it just happens to be a manufacturing defect.


    I'm glad I thoroughly trust my tuner.

    Looks like a front bearing failure. The owner drover the car 600 miles after the bearing started to make noise..dufus....
    Don't know if the bearing was hurt possibly when a pulley was installed or if it was simply a bad bearing. Either way no way he should have driven the car that far with a known problem like that.

    Yea, that was a Darwin award move for sure......but he should have also removed the intercooler and cleaned it properly as well.

    I wonder who did the aftermarket polishing ...I bet it's really easy to contaminate a SC when polishing it if not really carefull -- just a little grit will do it.
