What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

Old companions, new companions :)  Sorry to see the SHO go, good luck with the Denali.  Does it have the newest transmission (9 sp?) in it?  A friend had recently rented the Suburban version and reported constant micropulsing.  Otherwise a positive review :D
 
My pile of stock parts is starting to get a bit large... HPFP, Intake, intake piping, couple 2bar maps, exhaust, intercooler, fuel lines, pcv lines. springs etc etc... Gonna need to re-org my garage and basement storage...

Must be a Michael thing.....

I was in the same boat for quite a while myself.

Good luck with all your impending installs.

Ha! I appreciate it, and you as well! Did you end up selling, storing, or dumping all the parts?

There's a SnapOn toolbox with your name on it, LOL.

To rich for my blood! Old school craftsman set (before they were made in china) that I still have from when I was 16. Best Christmas present my father EVER gave me. Supplemented through the years with various pieces.
 
Mine were all being stored, as I completed purchases when funds permitted.

The invitation/inclusion into the "Ford Select" program for this year's 2019 National's prompted me to get cracking on installing all of it.

My list was nearly as long as yours, and I've been adding to it with the purchase of a new radiator, rad hoses, powder coating and painting various parts etc. as the installs have been occurring.

Seems no better time to perform ancillary work, and replace OEM equipment that is now several years old. While all performing fine mind you, easier now to do while the car's all torn apart.

The added safety net will provide a sense of assurance that my SHO will continue running flawlessly for several more years yet to come.

It has been awhile since LMS built those current tune file yes? Will be interesting what the numbers look like after it gets done on the rollers. Do you have that scheduled yet? Best luck!
 
Took the snow tires and wheels off and put the stockers back on and cleaned up the brake calipers and put in new yellowstuff pads. The Bluestuff I had in there were really aggressive and worked well but the dust was so bad and I bet they were only going to last 10k miles so I'll try the yellow

It does have the new 10 speed; same one in the ZL1. She's quick for as large as she is, the 6.2 puts out.

See if EBC has Orangestuff/SUV pads for your fusion, tho very likely, Yellow might be good enough.  The Orange came out after the Yellow.

Or go CarboTech (I assume they are still around).

Yea I can get the orange for the wilwood calipers I have but they have a wierd bedding procedure and I thought I read I would need the rotors skimmed or something prior to putting on the orange

Yellow should do me well enough
 
New Turbos, new intercooler. Front/Left turbo failed, dumped oil in to everything. Unfortunately, I didn’t find out about Gearhead until it was too late. I’ve been away from the forums for a while. Finally installing the new downpipes this weekend!  (Purchased in 2017..... ) Then back to the tuning drawing board.

I can send you a hi res pic if you need to rub one out, lol...
Haha...... dear God I can only imagine.

Shiny parts always add that oh so cool visual flair, and in this case..... performance too!

And...cheaper than an OEM SHO muffler assembly.

The OEM lincoln tips are crap.

I was able to perform roughly Ten Pulls from 60-110-mph with Redhead and seem its pulling harder like a Locomotive just in time for the Track season.  Z
