I saw this forum recommended over on Reddit and decided to join! I'm from the Pittsburgh area and I own a 2016 Taurus SHO with the performance package. Looking forward to seeing everyone's mods and gaining inspiration for my own!

Welcome to EBPF, glad to have ya here!  First ecoboost?  What mods did you have in mind?  And def post pics of your SHO!
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!

Yup! First ecoboost. I owned a first gen Mazda 6 hatch before this. Currently all I have done is replace the license plate and puddle lights with LED lights from DriveBright. I also bought the LED DRL's but I've been too nervous to try and install them myself. After looking at what other people have done in the forum, there's a bunch of mods that I'd eventually like to do.

Such as:

  • an LED lightbar behind the grill
  • window tint
  • a set of P.I. steel wheels for winter
  • either plasti dip or powder coat the stock wheels
  • and of course, a tune!

I'm in the South Hills actually. I've never tracked any of my vehicles before but I'd be interested. A tune is definitely something I'd like to do down the line.
