Hi guys,

Long time lurker, 1st time poster...took ownership of my 2010 mks last winter and am finally getting to modding my new baby.  I have extracted a TON of info from this site, truly a bunch of fanatics live here, and it has been such an awesome resource for me.  Look forward turning this tank into a real rocket with everyone's help!

Cheers!

Welcome, Egoboost, nice to see another MKS owner on here :)  Whereabouts are you from?  What mods are you looking to do?  The most common set is:  tune, plugs to 0.030, 3 bar MAP, cooler TStat, downpipes & (for handling) H&Rs/Megan coilovers.  A few go with bigger turbos as well.  If the brakes feel less than stellar, consider a rotor/pad upgrade from EBC, Power Stop, etc.
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!

I live about an hr NW of Toronto...another canuck on the forum.  Upgrades...well just about everything you listed!  Tuner in hand already w MAP, tstat, cooler plugs...but no tune yet, waiting to find some time to put it all together.  For sure H&R's & downpipes.  Brakes, sigh...sad when you look forward to driving the wife's minivan because the brakes are a million times better - lol!

Welcome!
You might want to consider a change out to the '13+ brake MC when you do the brakes.
