I went through the Ford program they offered at UTI. Got some credentials.

You can probably skip over this post. I am probably leaving in the next month or so.

Edit: Been out of there for a month now.

Have you gotten to mess with them at all?

I don't mind most of what I've done so far, but replacing the turbo and the up-pipes is not fun.

Torque spec is 18 ft-lbs on the manifold to up-pipe bolts. You have gone well past it before you get within an inch of the flange.
