Just got my first ford .
Can you put a cold intake on a Ecoboost ?
Could chip it too? What brand is good and the perks of it.

There are cold air intake out for the ecoboost, but I haven't heard of them making any real improvements.

I've got the airaid intake on mine. Like stated above not a big improvement power wise, but I do get about 1mpg better if I keep the foot out of it. My favorite thing about it is the added ability to hear the turbos do their thing. Your average joe probably hates the sound, but a gear head like me understands what it's about and likes it A LOT lol.
As far as tuners go.... I've got the superchips flashpaq and it's a decent tuner. Noticeable power increases and even a lil better mileage (again if I keep the foot out of it) However, I do plan on getting a different tuner down the road so I have the ability to custom tune and have her run just the way I want instead of a predetermined tune that some R & D guy said was "good"If the women don't find ya handsome, they should at least find ya handy

As for the Airaid intake, I'm about one click away from ordering it. I'm looking forward to the turbo sound, how loud is it? Will people be able to hear it when you drive by? Noticeably ? Will the dealer have a fit over it?

I'd reinstall the stock airbox before going to the dealer for anything.

Yes it is noticeably louder. Especially when you get into it then let off suddenly. The BPV sound is awesome and is definitely noticeable to others.

Hey I have a 2012 ecoboost and I have a cold air intake on it. Have you noticed any odd sounds from it when your holding one speed? Say 60km with your foot off and on it slightly. I here a little pop sound. Just wondering if it's normal

It's probably just the BPV. It puts air back into the intake when the throttle plate closes Originally Posted by DaddyT
