Ruby,
We've got a great thread with a lot of this information available here:

As others have said, if your current Accessport is for a Mazda, it will not work on an EcoBoost Mustang. We are able to re-program the device and make it compatible. To start the process, give us a call at 866-922-3059 or email [email protected].

Yes, the boost level is dynamic and can run up to that amount if conditions require it. What's your Octane Adjust Ratio Learned value?

EcoSnake,
The car is likely just in a battery protection / dealer transport mode due to a slow trickle power draw over an extended period of time. If you remove the door handle cover and enter the car you can pop the hood and remove the negative terminal on the battery. Wait a few seconds...
The ECU in the Mustang is 2x larger in memory size than the Focus/Fiesta and thus takes longer to flash and backup. We have implemented a full backup process that has been optimized by our custom coding to be as quick as possible. Previously, the backup process for these ECU's was roughly 5...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Accessport!
Check out the dyno chart with boost plotted:
This and tons of other dyno related data is open to view at our dynodatabase.

RubyRacer,
The driving mode toggle switch doesn't have a huge effect on the tune other than applying various throttle translations. On MT cars this is all it does. However, on AT cars it will also enable a special set of shifting profiles to become active. These profiles stiffen up the...
Have them give us a call! We are always expanding our ProTuner network and would love to talk to them about offering COBB products to customers like you!

The Accessport for the EcoBoost Mustang is a powerful tool. Aside from being able to flash the ECU with different tunes, and a diagnostic tool able to read and clear codes, it can also display and record hundreds of different parameters. From Ambient Air Temperature to Vehicle Speed Sensors...
The box will be closed. The intakes shown above utilize components from the factory boxes to prevent sucking in hot air from the engine bay. We haven't tested for any water just yet. But, as long as you're not crossing any rivers, there shouldn't be an issue with water ingestion. :)

Anytime! I wish I could say for certain on the power gains. Eventually, we'll know for sure what kind of power these bolt-ons will deliver. The engine itself should be capable of 400/400 without having to upgrade anything internally. Rest assured that everything with the COBB name will be...
Focus ST
Fiesta ST
Pictured are our Stage 3 Packages for our other EcoBoost vehicles. We will definitely have something similar for the Mustang! Check out our website for more details on the Fiesta ST and the Focus ST to get a better idea of the products we'll have for the Mustang. The...
Getting an extra 20% MPGs just by taking the car to the UK must be nice! :) I'm also interested to see what happens with these cars. On the EcoBoost Fiesta, the USDM cars use Speed Density based tuning and cars from other regions are MAF based. The Focus ST uses the same strategy through all...
Manufacturers typically list power numbers in terms of what the engine makes at the crank. The numbers here are listed in what the car makes at the wheels. Any car will always make less at the wheels due to power losses through the drivetrain.

Once a specific tune is flashed to the ECU, it stays there until the ECU is re-flashed again. Each tune has different map slots. Check out the map notes to see the different options. The map slot you select will stay the same until you change it to something else or re-flash the ECU with a...
It's really unlikely anything will be damaged if you go with a reputable tuner. There's been loads of Research and Development that has gone into the COBB Stage 1 tune. We've already put over 4000 tuned miles on one of our EcoBoost Mustangs. These miles are made up of a lot of harsh, stress...
