All,

Has anyone here every blown an intake gasket under full boost? Had to get mine towed today. After coming out of 1st gear at redline, the car just quit. All I could do is get it to gurgle a little bit, but it wouldn't move. I thought possibly I burnt out some plugs but the mechanic looking at it is thinking more in the lines of a blown intake seal.

Anybody here run into this?

It's very rare since the OEM gaskets ford uses are very good. It's more common to find that one of the runners in the plastic intake manifold have craked. Also with your car have a procharger it's very common to have one of the intercooler pipes blow off and cause problems.
