Hi guys, have had my black 2012 MKS ecoboost for 2 years now. Installed the Livernoise Hurricane bundle with race tune 93+x. The car has run great and is plenty quick for me as i`m 59. I used to be into thunderbird sc`s in fact I`ve had 18 of them though the years. Love to work on my own car as I simply don`t trust any dealer, exhausted all of them in the greater Chicago area and the few small shops but i hope I can get some help from this site on how to fix a few things. I will post them in the correct area. Glad to be here as I read the entire ecoboost kill of the month. Now that was good reading right there.

Welcome to the community, Mark, glad to have you and your MKS here :D  Wow, 18 T-SC's, that's GOTTA be a record!  Post some pics of current & past rides, we'd love to see them all!

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!

Saw a few SC T-Bird's at this year's National's. Super sharp and brought back some memories.

Also hailing from the Chicagoland area here myself.

I have a local friend/shop owner I can refer you to in the event something arises that stumps you.

He's been instrumental in helping me get my SHO to where it is (and continues to) go.

Glad to have you on board.

This was something I made up from pic`s of my cars in 2007. I had a crappy camera and the program i used seemed like a good idea at the time but here it is.

Not sure where you are from but there is a guy on the Facebook groups that works at a dealer in West Dundee that has helped out some local guys.
