Just got my car back a few days ago. The KB install was done by Horsepower by Herman in Crofton MD. If anyone is searching for an installer in the D.C./Maryland/Virgina area I highly recommend HBH. His work is second to none and his customer relations are like nothing I have ever experienced.
First off, when I went to pick up the car Herman worked directly with me while calibrating the idle with the new TB. After adjusting and taking a few test runs with him, he determined that the TPS sensor was busted. This was a problem because we needed a new one and I had to have the car that day. Herman could have just said "sorry, come back tomorrow", but instead he said that he would take care of it. He said he would call ford and go get the part if they had it, and if not he would pull the TPS sensor off his own 03 just so I could leave with my car that day.
After he got the TPS sensor from ford he came back and finished up the job, and off I went. The power increase is incredible. Can't wait to get it on the dyno.
I'm running 17lbs. of boost, so I also purchased the oil tank separator from Herman, which is his own original design. So far I have no oil leaks, which makes this product worth it's weight in gold. If you have or are in the process of purchasing the KB I suggest you get yourself 2 things. . .1.) the oil separator and 2.) a bag of huggies. :thumbsup:
Herman, thanks again for going above and beyond for me. Why you put up with all my elementary questions during and after working hours is a huge mystery to me. I never met a mechanic more willing to explain all of my inquiries to me. cheers buddy :beer:
