Greetings everyone, new member from Cleveland here. Just picked up a 2016 MKZ 2.0 Ecoboost. Still researching everything and stumbled on to here. Been working on cars most of my life, namely Honda's and other sport compacts but this is the wife and mines first new car... Felt we deserved something nice. Knew nothing about and figured I couldn't do anything to it. Well then I started to look in to it and... Here I am. Whole list of ideas and I've never had a factory turbo car let alone something with this much potential. And eventually the wife will start talking to me again 😂

LOL @ the belief your wife will someday start talking to you again.

We here all understand.

Welcome. Enjoy. Good luck trying to avoid being bitten by moditis. It can be damn near debilitating since Ford/Mercury left so much on the table with these platforms.

Thanks for the intro.

Welcome!  It might take a lot of TLC to patch this grievous deed of yours, but you can do it!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

My wife can't say anything more about what I do.  I officially gave her the title of Ex-Wife.   Now I have all the toys, along with peace and quiet.

She just likes to give me grief about it. I'm the one making the payment and she gets to drive it all the time while I'm away at work so she has to save face somehow lol. The only thing she's serious about is " Don't make it so I can't drive it " I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Be careful, these cars can get out of hand in the modding.  All of a sudden you are 5k in and you literally have a HOT ROD LINCOLN that she may be scared to drive.
