    Noisemaker for those who dont know:

    That weak clip - holding the noise part in place - comes loose - was causing complaints from drivers that a vacuum leak appears.

    For the intercooler - are you referring to the MISHIMOTO UNIVERSAL RACE EDITION INTERCOOLER J-LINE?

    The shift points are easier to manage on the SHO's 6F55 tuning, you really don't need to wind out that motor and stock turbos. I kept mine around 6100 RPM max in the earlier gears. I experimented with the 2-3 and 3-4 at the track to find one that worked better.

    I see there might be an aftermarket intercooler option for the SHO which I'd recommend. That being said, the stock intercooler on the SHO seems to be more effective than the stock one on my Fusion Sport.
    Noise maker for those that don't know what it is - I didnt for a while.

    Is this the intercooler you speak of? MISHIMOTO UNIVERSAL RACE EDITION INTERCOOLER J-LINE

    Like I said I never had an issue with the noisemaker/Helmholtz resonator. I did have the throttle body cover pop off due to boost and it is a common problem unless you have the revised TB motor.

    Whichever aftermarket intercooler is advertised for the SHO. When I had the SHO there weren't any options so I made do with the stock intercooler.

    Again you're not running over 18 psi boost on the stock Garretts. If you are, you're doing it wrong.

    I read through the guide, and several posts and threads. Here is whats up, i have 2012 SHO and I have not read it out yet. Before I go ahead and start tuning this car I am trying to wrap my head around the logic in the PCM even at a high level.

    So what I get as just a general flow:
    Driver depresses accelerator and the Accelerator position is used to determine a desired torque from desired torque table.
    The PCM then Converts the Desired torque into a desired airflow (Unsure where this happens, possibly in the torque model torque calculation tables)
    At some point the desired airflow results in a Desired Throttle inlet pressure and throttle angle (also unsure where this happens)
    The desired throttle inlet pressure and engine RPM are used to look up a WGDC.

    I definitely feel like there's some key tables I would like to see not visible to me.

    The 2010-2012 SHO strategy is different from the 2013-2019 SHO. I wouldn't be surprised if HP Tuners didn't define a lot of parameters based on what I have heard from other owners. They've pretty much put a lot of these vehicles to the wayside for parameters as they focus on the higher priority projects. I have been waiting on some stuff for my 2018 Explorer to be defined and gave up hope. I sold the vehicle so my care factor is zero at this point.
