The way it is set up from factory, any excess boost is returned to the intake inlet tube. It is possible that with the aftermarket CAI, you can hear it since you left the cover off.
This is what I can tell you about PCM updates: Up until this day, any Sync 4 vehicles that is tuned and gets the PCM updated, the tune gets wiped. F150, Mustang, Bronco......the vehicle platform does not matter. The last time it happened to my truck, the PCM strategy was so new, Livernois didn't...
PCM OTA started going out to these trucks a few days ago. I guess we will know soon enough if this will or won't be an issue for tuned vehciles.

This is with a Ford Performance tune or a a third party tuner?
The name looks familiar. I just found our convo on the F150 forum. You had the IPC that wouldn't update and you had to push via CAN. Fun times! I had to do that to my F150......twice. 12 hours of my life I will never get back. 😆
The PCM is 100% updateable via the OTA process and will 100% wipe the tune. I know because it has happaned to me and countless others.
The OTA process uses a algorithm to check the 12v battery SoC, capacity, voltage other factors before attempting to install it. If the 12v battery is not up to...
Right, but by reloading the tune, you are literally rolling back the PCM to the older strategy/calibration that does not include whatever fix would be included in the newer PCM firmware.
It isn't a problem until it's a problem, but it is just a matter of time before some vehicles in Ford's line...
That's crazy to me. There have been several recalls for different vehicles that require the PCM software to be updated. So if a PCM update gets released to address a problem, whoever bought one of these tuners now owns a ProCal paperweight?
I'm not calling you out.....I believe this is the...
That's what I did. You'll still get notified of an update. If you see it's for something other than the PCM, you can let it install on a case by case basis.
If you think that Ford has enough foresight to have thought about this in advance, then you have a lot more confidence in them than I do. 😆
What I don't understand is why you can't flash your tune over it. I can do that with my Livernois tuner if I wanted to. It would revert the PCM to the old...
If that's the case, I've always wondered how Ford would handle these things when it happens. Both my vehicles are tuned with Livernois. If the PCM is updated with an OTA update or via FDRS, they will make a new tune for you with the updated strategy at no additional cost. It's happened several...
Also note that it will not do it if you are driving at night in bright conditions. If you live in the city with lots of streets lights, the function will not work. It is more obvious while driving on a rural road where it is dark.
You can disabled blind spot assist here in the door modules:
And here in the IPC:
However, isn't there a way to just turn it off in the driver assist menu?
It is being pushed out OTA to the F150s already. It's called IRTM-25.A04.
Having auto updates on or off does not matter. If auto updates are off, you will still get a message when you are sent an OTA asking for permission to install it like the message below. I keep auto updates off so to...
