Hi everyone I'm new to the EcoBoost modifications and tuning and came from the Subaru world now that things have changed in the family situation I got something larger I want to get a custom tune eventually but was looking at getting a used SCT X4 tuner and it has mapping for the 2010 - 14 SHO and when I called them to ask if that mapping would work on my MKS they weren't sure they said they never tested it on there but wouldn't the engine and ECU be the same? My plan was to buy this use tuner and then eventually go with a custom tune but if that doesn't work I might as well just go with buying a tuner from a vendor on here like Unleashed or livernois's

Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks

Typically you want to stay away from the caned tunes from  SCT,
Both Livernois and unleashed can tune your MKS depending on your ECU strategy.
Another option if you decide to go to the SCT route would be message AJPTURBO here on the forum. He's a great custom tune option.
But you can only use him if you use the SCT tuner

Thanks for your advice, have you heard much about BCB brew city boost?

I dont plan to race my car just want it more responsive and a bit more power, would like to tune on 87 and 91

Mostly heard good things about BCB, including on the Ecoboost platform.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

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!
