Good tip, that could have been a costly lessen learned
How can I check if its working?
So, I've checked the intercooler and its working just fine. Went out couple days ago, it was about 87F, hot, did 2 first, second runs, first one was OK second one felt like I was driving a 200HP Mustang.
Went to Ford for the Airbag recall and they stated "if no idiot light is on, there's nothing they can do." That is unless they recreate the issue, which I'm not OK with. I can do it with someone in the car, but I guess that's not allowed.
Might just take it to Lido, Dynoed and see if anything comes up.
Another thought, should I change the radiator/intercooler fluid, car has 10K on the clock. How about a lower temperature thermostat? Thanks for reading.

You can always run stright distilled water and royal purple ice in your intercooler. that's what I did in my 2013
I live in SC and the heat is high and humidity is higher...IMHO your problem is not heat related. I suggest calling Van, get a SCT turner, data log and find the issue.
I thinking you're right. Something's not right. Personally think it's clutch related
I've contacted Alternative auto in Michigan....hope to get in soon!
Spoke with Alternative, he suspects plugged cats
typical blower heat soak. why don't u just remove the cats and have it tuned without them?
I jus welded a fake cat shell around mine to look like it has cats so wen DMV looks under there they see it has cats or at least it looks that way.
I can remember taking out my TVS powered 2012 Mustang with ALL the supporting mods and on really hot n humid nights it jus ran like such garbage after the first few pulls! I honestly didn't even want to drive it on them nights cause I was afraid a Turbo car wud smoke me lol
and I had all the cooling upgrades known to man!

Lidio will get you set straight.
I'll be up there with my car this weekend or next, and if it is the cats and you want a stock H-pipe I have one with less than 1000 miles.
Let us know.

Thanks. I could get in Thursday but he can't tune the car as he's waiting on a shipment of SCT's. So my plan was to purchase a new mid pipe, thinking MRT catted h or Kooks catted x or something catless or stock mid pipe. Then get the car in to lidio for a full tune. Appreciate the offer on the stock pipe and just might take you up on it.
It's completely stock now and a louder exhaust is really tempting. Just can't be too loud the wife and kids will complain. I'm sure this topic has been beat to death, but any suggestions ?

Off-road H-pipe with his tune and all else stock, the stock mufflers sound great.

That's what I'm leaning toward! Just afraid its going to be too loud.
I'll pretend you didn't say that haha 
Seriously though, complete stock exhaust with only change to off-road h-pipe sounds perfect.
If you're going to tune and willing to run DRs, the o/r pipe, 4.10s, drag radials and Lidio tune is an amazing street package. I did that but stock mid pile and went 11.03.
I'll be up there next Sat.
Good luck

Thanks. I'm going to pull that pin tonight and check it out. Funny, when driving today the loss of power was more intermittent. Maybe that's it. Either way, Gettimg the car custom tuned next Friday, also picked up my MRT off road H. Excited to have another alternative auto tuned car
Just checked the pin and connector. Looks perfect. Thanks for the heads up
