I would take tb spacer off . I have BBK Thottlebody . No issue well built uses ford oem electronics and motor. Air temp sensor high sounds like unplugged or damaged sensor I belive there are 2 or 3 Temp sensors on the various tubes.

Thanks for the info. Question, do you have a whining noise when you accelerate? Mine does and I’m wondering if it’s from the spacer. The blowoff valve doesn’t need to recirculate?

I'm betting you have a vacuum leak with that spacer. That is your whine noise. I have zero noise . Blow off valve not going to work till you build boost .

I put a throttle body spacer on a mustang several years ago and it whistled. Tossed it right away. Don’t think there is any added value in them.

So the blow off valve right now has a hose ran from it to the spacer. So that doesn’t need to done that way?
The bov doesn’t need to be have the hose coming off the bottom of it?
Sorry for the questions, don’t know much about the whole bov thing. I’m the instructions from turbosmart they had it run up under the engine cover, so I thought the spacer was a better option to that.

If you are getting no boost then either a intercooler pipe, the bov is most likely to blame. recheck all hose connections. The bov is in the svc intercooler which isn’t easy to get to but double check that as well.
What he said!

So your getting vacuum from tb spacer to operate the blow off valve. I used map sensor block on my 2014. See pic below. When i install my new Garret CAC i will be putting turbo smart electric blow off. No vacuum line needed.

Take a picture of your set up , Full race makes decent stuff . Picture i found has 2 fittings come off side , one should go to BOV and other should be plugged .

Yeah their stuff seems to be super good. Mine has 3 ports. Two on the right side and one on the left. I plugged both the one on the left side and the bottom one on the right side. The one open port goes to the bottom of the bov.

Any update? Mine just threw P2282 after MPT tune upload. I can hear what sounds like an exhaust leak (pulsing whoosh) coming from the BOV area. I have Turbosmart BOV and BBK throttle body too. Ill probably drop the skid plate + intake foam cover and check all the plumbing this afternoon.
