it is often difficult to know what year the poster is driving or asking about.
I agree and like the idea of a 2015+ sub-forum as well!!
Also, very curious about tuning for the Ecoboost in my 2016 Expedition. Anyone done it yet??
Yes, there are a couple of firms out there posting some pretty impressive increases to your '16 3.5 twin turbo.....the only one I would trust however is Livernois Motorsports.

go here and click the Product Information tab....you'll be very happy! "Gains of over 84hp and 84tq on your otherwise stock vehicle"
This product is only for the 2015 and 2016 models so we with the 2017's will have to wait...for now!
Just keep in mind HOW they are getting the increased power. Ford has sucessfully dealt with "turbo-lag" by reducing the size of the exhaust headers to promote higher velocity charge hitting the turbos. Raising boost means raising power BUT raising power ALWAYS means raising the latent heat. Raising heat of course brings a whole new range of issues which the Ford engineers did not have to account for since they were working with less power/less heat. Just be sure to investigate and downhill issues that the "tuning company" isn't so worried aobut when trying to extract higher levels of power.
As an example, I own a two-seater factory supercharged Mercedes that I modified by installing a larger crank pulley to spin the supercharger faster. The end result was a boost increase from 8PSI to 11PSI netting me about 35 BHP. Not bad for $870. or about 25 bucks per brake horsepower and no noticeable increase in heat from the engine which had a very good heat-shedding system of intercooler/radiators.
The increases stated for the 2016 Expy of 84 HP are almost surely crank HP which would equate to approx 70BHP if the drivetrain loses around 16% or 17%....which are good numbers but 70BHP also translates into a lot of added heat that must be shed....just keep that in mind and definitely post your results if you decide to take the plunge!!

The number LMS uses for it's power increase are Dyno numbers. That is an 84HP increase at the wheels. I use them for my Edge Sport. They are a great company to deal with. Got a JMS BoostMax that was never installed for the 15 that was totaled, waiting for a response from their Engineer whether it will work in the 17. Should work, but waiting for confirmation.
