Whats in this ecoboost?

[Riz0s]

What is in there, want to buy an ecoboost mustang and the one in the picture is CPO and at a good price.

Anyone know what system that is, he also put titanium exhaust in the back and some sort of intercooler. There is also a greedy boost controller in the interior.

What your looking at right there is somebodys else's problem. And they are trying to make it your problem.

I'm not finding a kit for the EB that uses a comp-turbo. So probably a custom setup? I could be wrong on this though, google hasn't returned anything of the sort for kits.

I'm guessing a meth setup as well, with a (looks) generic CAI.

This is really a CPO? I didn't think they'd certify something like this. Wouldn't surprise me if this thing has seen some rough treatment. If they still say it's CPO, I'd get that EVERYTHING is covered under warranty before you even think about it.

dealership trades are full of issues. I dropped my 50% built motor 600whp Evo viii off at the dealership a run or two away from the tranny exploding and the gt35r needing to be replaced. Got a ton of cash on trade for it and it still street drove great; but I feel bad for whoever picked it up #timebomb. Most good looking trades at dealerships are issues someone else didn't want to deal with. imagine if i sold it on craigslist/autotrader the crap that would have come back to me...

This is my first thought. Probably bought the comp turbo on ebay. Had a shit ton of issues, or were scared of issues. Prolly wasn't treated very well at all.

Looks like a ticking time bomb. Stay away from it.

Also keep in mind...You have NO idea who tuned this thing. And they aren't going to pass any of that on to you. You'll more than likely need to find a new tuner as well. That adds up for something, that you have no true idea what all mods are in.

I looked it up and its past the 3/36 mark so you get 1 year/12k mile bumper to bumper if its a true Ford CPO (I bought a CPO EB back in January) If you want to throw away some cash for a fun time haggle em down to 16-17k out the door then resell it before the warranties up for 10K. Watch out though I think they could be using some shady sales tactics and calling it a CPO but certifying it through some other warranty company. Definitely not a car you are looking for if you are in the the market for an ecoboost.

[MENTION=28999]yomamma219[/MENTION] Was yours modified? I have a hard time believing they would CPO a Big Turbo upgrade...

There is not a chance Ford would warranty that under CPO if/when the engine blows. I would look elsewhere unless there is very detailed paperwork showing what work was done and where (which is highly unlikely) and you know the risk.

[MENTION=26348]Spykexx[/MENTION] no mine was bone stock as far as I know. I was saying at the end of that post what everyone else is also saying that its like not a true ford CPO but could still be advertised as a "CPO" if there is some 3rd party company that they "certified" it through.

I could be completely wrong but can the dealer list exceptions in the CPO paperwork? I remember some disclaimers in my paperwork about flood/rebuilt vehicles but the check boxes weren't checked (or applicable) for me. This could have been just be more so in the generic used car paperwork and I may be mis-remembering.

Link below for anyone that may know the car. I agree with the others, I would run far far away from this car. Lots of money invested to just be traded in. I would bet there are hidden issues.
