Or as Ford call it the "Steaming Exhaust Issue"

I still don't understand why Ford thought that on open-deck engine would stand up to forced-induction, especially on a car that is going to be modified by most of the owners. They tried to save a few $ per engine by using less material, but shafted themselves out of hundreds of thousands in repair costs.

I find it funny our community gets so much flak for being the "check engine light" crew, yet The Fukus ST/RS community has megathreads pertaining to major failures

Damn these 2.3s are junk.
