Hello Everyone,

I am new here and new to owning my SHO. I did introduced myself in the other post but I wanted to share the whole story. Sorry if this post gets long. So its been my dream to get a SHO and improve it. Since I have a family I need the 4 door. So finally I was able to pick up a 2014 SHO.  So I live in Metro Detriot so the place I looked at was LMS. But I got a little worried because I called talked to them and the said they would have a quote in 2 days. Week later no quote so I called again they said nope I don't see it said sorry they redo it have it to me by last friday or worse case Saturday. So called back a 3rd time waited on hold got me sales guy he tells me its done but its sitting on the install managers desk and send it sone he looks at. We are not talking about a small job. I was looking at thier T550 package and downpipe and coils. So the other day i decided to join some facebook ecoboost groups to get some ideals which lead me here then I seen LMS was on probation here and has made even think twice. So I thought I would post here what I have come up with and see what you guys think and opinions.

So first I decided to deal with Ortiz Performance and Gearhead.

First is the Trump Buck deal.

Also I haven't asked them yet but was thinking of replacing the sct x4 with the livewire what do you think?

Steelworks DP.

Corsa Exhust

Then I am looking at:

Gear-head Turbos
Gear-head inter cooler

This is my plan to order and have installed. Somebody told me watch you tube to do it myself but there is no way I can do it myself.  I have Stage 4 Kidney desease and having Heart issues had a stent put in 2 weeks ago.  So i am looking for a reliable garage in my area if anyone knows of one in Metro Detroit please share.

I will be tinting the windows and adding some rims also.

So please look at this if you have anything you recommend please share. I would love any input. And yes I am trying to go all out I saved the up the money for it and it is a dream and plus the wife said it was ok (LOL)!!! Thank you in advance to anyone who took time to read this and any one will to help.

















2014 Tarus SHO. Black

No Mods yet working on it!

Yes stay away from LMS.  I would not let them tune my lawnmower.

You seem to have a pretty good plan.  Personally I would change all of the fluids in your car asap.  Oil, coolant, PTU, RDU, and I would start trans fluid cycling.  5 out and 5 in.   

I would also check out the first couple posts in this thread as well.  It will answer a lot of your questions with fluid swaps, mods, installing tunes, ect.  I am working on bringing all of that information here as well so please excuse the link to the other forum.

I cannot recommend a garage where you are because I live no where close to you. If you were in AZ I would offer the install your parts.  Hopefully the other members can jump in and help you with that.
