Not being able to tune for the 2.3L platform is going to be the biggest restrictor when it comes to aftermarket powertrain parts; when you're starting to mess with things that can adversely affect air/fuel, a tune is needed to keep everything in check.
I pretty much went through the same thing yesterday; my dealer wouldn't take much off of the Heritage trims compared to the Badlands/Wildtraks. I see your deal has the $500 rebate, but you should also be getting another $1000 rebate that's good until tomorrow, unless Ford renews it.
My dealer...
Congrats! Unfortunately, mine is still at the dealer; the towing kit needs to be installed by them and that ended up being shipped separately and still hasn't come in. The dealer's about 60 miles away so I'd rather not pick it up now and have to go back and forth. Hoping it is ready by Saturday...
@Snook @ktktou any of you guys gotten your Broncos in yet? My dealer just told me mine got delivered today but unfortunately their PDI crew doesn't work on the weekends and I'm also out of town for Christmas, so I will not be able to take delivery until Thursday at the earliest. If yours hasn't...
@Snook @ktktou FYI if your trackers go weird and reset itself back to 'Order Confirmed' after it's built, there seems to be some sort of weird issue with the Ford tracker and your vehicle is likely on its way to the dealer. I had an online chat with Ford and they were able to provide a more...
LOL no, my tracker's been bugged out since Saturday on Order Confirmed even though it's got a Built date. I'm hoping it ships out by tomorrow or Friday.
@Snook Check this tracker with your VIN and see if your BCE profile show a bunch of codes...if it does then it should be going down the assembly line right now. Mine just went live this afternoon.

Good deal, go ahead and grab your window sticker while you're at it, just replace the VIN at the end of the URL below with yours.

Apologies for the random question, but I noticed yours (Congrats by way!) came with the LED taillights; does your window sticker show this as a separate add-on/option? Or does it actually come with the LED signature headlight option as this post mentioned but Ford fails to disclose/render that...
Hello all, I am selling an unused Ford Performance calibration for the 2.3L engine -- this comes with the voucher to download the tune from Ford Performance (Never been redeemed/claimed) and handheld tuner unit itself. I'm looking to get $550 for it, please PM if interested!
I would be more concerned with having the ability to tune first -- any changes to the turbo's spooling characteristics means the compressor mapping will change, which would require an adjustment of the fuel/air mixture of the ECU.
To your original question, CRP already does what you're looking...
The Ranger and Bronco's 2.3L intake setup are very similar, and Mishimoto got about 5-6 WHP/WTQ out of their Ranger aftermarket intake.

I appreciate Toyota for being conservative in the sense they don't sacrifice their reliability to be on the absolute bleeding edge, but it hurts them at times such as this case.
The sixth gear in these are just highway cruising gears, you can't get any meaningful acceleration out of it; I have...
