1. PCM is encrypted
2. None of the 'popular' companies have hacked it yet
3. https://www.f150online.com/forums/ch...ane-tuned.html

Yeah, I'd guess it will be a while before you see tuners for the 2011+ EcoBoost applications.

And when you do, expect them to void your warranty. Ford is being pretty **** about that these days.

All they have to do is hook up their whizbang machine to it and they can read out everything that's ever been done to it. Go ahead and tune it when programmers become available, but plan on no longer having a powertrain warranty.

that's because the idiots at brenspeed were turning off the knock senors on the 5.0L mustangs and the #8 cylinder would blow.

So is this for all 2011's or just the Ecoboost? I am thinking about a tuner for my new truck, but haven't found one yet. Thanks

Mike Troyer bought one about three months ago. I believe he now has tuning for them.

I wonder if the boost is electronically or mechanically limited? Wonder what Mike is going to open up with a custom tune. Cant wait to see results!
