Just a reminder that next month it will be a year since they started this thread. People had been having problems with their intake throwing codes for 6 months before thread was created. Remember kids, don't buy [MENTION=1848]mishimoto[/MENTION] parts because they take advantage of the community.
Mishi will not even answer to the BBB......when I filed my claim they told the BBB they settled with me......I told BBB they lied. So BBB said "what's new with them", Mishi refuses to work with the BBB on complaint's. I warned this Forum community of this long ago....and they keep supporting this company with horrible customer support and a horrible BBB rating. This forum is a joke when it comes to vendors, no standards, no screening or filtering out the charlatans, I will not support vendors that bypass emissions because they do not understand the function of certain parts. A"fix"? No. that would be a "broke". Bypassing emissions is not "fixing" anything. But with glowing reviews of only having to reset the CEL occasionally is of course the proof it is fixed. Buy your intake from anyone other than Mishi....and the Ford vent cable and stay legal and CEL free. Testing is required in many places, like where I live. I prefer to stay legal and NOT support bad vendors like Mishi.
I fear this forum is going down the same dead end road of another long time forum I was on did. It became a marketing centric forum causing so much dissent it is no longer around. I have better things to do than read the constant free ads about what is going to drop next. I now check in occasionally.....until and if the forum returns to a useful users forum not a sellers forum it will remain a place to visit as opposed to a hang out. I have very little desire for the cheapest products to modify my car, I want quality from companies I trust but I do understand we all have our own goals, some have the goals of cheapest parts with bogus power claims from vendors, and there is an excellent market for fleecing the sheep here with so many newbies to engine performance falling for the silliness.
It reminds me of the old J.C. Whitney catalogs. Hell for $100 you could buy hundreds of HP with a hand full of gadgets each promising 5-20 HP! Here we get a "buy our solid aircraft grade polished aluminum gilflaver diversion vestibule with new improved sillicarbahol rubber seals, improves performance and increases HP". But when you ask the vendor for test data you get the "what you don't trust us" and no data on the imagined HP on our car. Why would anyone with sense believe these claims with zero data on them or data on an 8 year old "toyosaabaro xkr-ss quad turbo V3 cylinder engine" they claim they did actually test. Not related!
Some goals, like mine are the goals of long term reliability and performance that is offered from reputable vendors and products and is seldom obtained with the cheapest price. This Forum was a great place to learn more about our cars the first few years, now it is a place to ask people for info that is already in their glove box, like the almost every other day posts for "what is the wrench light for" and how to reset it, along with the seemingly required posts with incorrect reset info rather than a simple "use your manual" response. Tired of bitching about a breakdown, bogus "virtual dyno" claims that will display any lie you want, suing Ford for a new head because you want one, the latest "work around" to mess up your Sync system or help people that already have. I am sure when Ford is ready they will download it on WiFi, they seem to do fine with the updates they currently do. Why would I want to use F-150 or Mustang software to update my Fiesta? I will wait. Bluedrank, I agree with you on Mishi......but the sheep here will still get fleeced by them, then buy a "fix" rather than hold Mishi responsible......seems few know how to use the search function
