New A10 EcoBoost Vert. Worthwhile mods?

[PTM5.0]

We picked up a new A10 EcoBoost Vert as a weekend cruiser. Plans are to add the Roush roll/styling bar, tune and intercooler to the car. Which intercooler is regarded as the best? Any other worthwhile mods to do?

I vote ATM for the intercooler as that is what I have and I love it. Tuners, tune+ and PD tuning seem to be the go too tuners for the ecoboost.

I would also say that you should look into suspension mods, Steeda and bmr are your best bets, I'm a Steeda fan myself.

Does the ATM intercooler allow to keep the grille shutters?

I have an '18 EB convertible with the following performance mods -

Airaid Intake Tube with K&N panel filter
MAP Billet Intercooler
CVF Aluminum Intercooler Charge Pipe Kit
NGK LTR7IX-11 (6510) 1-step colder Spark Plugs - Pre-gapped to TUNE+ Spec
Cobb AP with pro tuning done by Ryan at PD
MBRP 3" catted downpipe
Turbosmart 10# WGA

I just came back from doing a couple more data logs for Ryan. VERY happy with the results!

No it does not. Hit up cvf they are a vendor here and u can keep the shutters with their unit I believe

Ok guys, here's what the shop and myself came up with for the car...

K&N panel filter
Airaid intake tube/factory airbox
CVF intercooler
Lund racing dyno tune on 93 with Ngauge

Once all the parts are in, I'll drop it off for the upgrades.

Don't go Lund unless your goal is drag racing.

1. They lie to you, I was told tune required parts needed no tune revision (wastegate)
2. The transmission shifts in all drive modes are hard and not great for cruising around
3. They basically dont care about the Ecoboost platform outside a couple of drag racing cars
4. The Nguage sucks for the Ecoboost and the Cobb accessport is better in every way.

Like your mod choices but agree with @Hellman109 Lund caters to the GT crowd. Go with a Cobb tunner

Everything is on the car at the shop and I expected it to be dyno tuned today. I got a call saying Lund won't do the remote dyno tune so I told them to do the Ford Performance parts tune on it.

Lund is crap for anyone but drag racers, Ford Performance if you stick to their mods come with warranty but you may have problems with the mods you have. Sounds like its a done deal though.

In any case it will make the car perform way better anyhow, but a Cobb Accessport and pro tune would get you way more power.

I was really hoping for the Lund tune with Ngauge because he did a great job on my GT's dyno tune but I'll be content with the Ford tune. At least now the fake engine noises from the stereo will be gone.
