Well that's good to know!
Now can we use an o2 extender on the 2nd sensor as a temp fix to pass emissions and then remove for norm driving

Thanks, Justin. Good to see you here! I heard you got a CEL disabling the VTCS, but didn't know too much about it.
All that is needed is a bracket to leave the control solenoid plugged in. As long as the ecu sees it no error.
And I'm guessing we'll be avoiding the cold-start stumbling issues too? That'd be a win all around.
No as far as i know the cold start issue is that the ecu is programmed to use the tumble induced by the vcts system and with it missing the cold start sucks.
But supposedly and @PapaSmurf would be able to confirm it holding the throttle part way on the start will avoid the issue.

I do part-throttle starts as a rule to spare my neighbors from the free-flowing exhaust noise, LOL
Dufuq did you come from lol.
Atvfreek is back huh? Lol
Correct
Holding the throttle on cold start does reduce and eliminate high RPM/Cold start
The map sensor is on the front of the manifold
I must've been thinking about the Fiesta ST, or maybe something else entirely, LOL. Got my wires crossed.
Hmmm I guess I won't be needing to spend 1000 bucks to get good flow and pi maybe more like 400-500
I bet the intake manifold will be very reasonably priced but I highly doubt anyone will sell a PI setup for that cheap. Not including the cost of the manifold SP63 still charges about 1k for the fuel system for the focus st. http://www.speedperf6rmanc3.com/products/port-injection-fuel-kit-for-ford-ecoboost-2-0l.html
Ahhh very true. I was thinking of the manifold and all parts needed to to install it not including the pi setup.
How much is the manifold and adapter plate combined going to weigh roughly compared to a bone stock intake manifold (VTCS installed)?
Hmmmmm. Do want.
Especially interesting tidbit of info that the VCTS doesn't throw a code. I was always under the impression it did which is why I never considered another manifold before. Looking forward to seeing some impressions since I'm nowhere near my car for the next 4 months.
