I am slowly approaching the purchase of my Ecoboost vehicle and want to start ordering parts for my "Stage 1" build. For the roughly $1,500-$2,000 I have to spend here is what I am planning on doing:
-MyCalibr80r loaded with Stage 4+ from Livernois
-170 degree T-stat
-Livernois down pipes
-3rd cat and resonator delete
I would appreciate any recommendations to go in a different direction for best bang for the buck mods as I am kind of new to the Ecoboost engine. I also want to go with mods that will be beneficial for a "Stage 2" build that may be meth injection or upgraded turbos.
If you want the MyCal I have a used one for sale $250 shipped and then $250 from LMS for the tunes.
I also have 170 T-stat for approx $62.70 shipped
For downpipes are you going catted or catless? For catted I would highly suggest PPE as the cats will pass emissions, for catless I would go Stainless Works via MAK Performance as they're the same quality but cheaper.
I would not suggest doing 3rd cat and resonator delete, that sounds horrible from what I've seen/heard, either do a full exhaust or the MRT rear mufflers.
Here's the list now:
$500 for used MyCal
$63.00 T-stat
Downpipes you have a decision to make but around $600 shipped or $900 shipped depending on your choice
Exhaust is up to you, many options.
