Well what I read was all smaller EcoBoost including 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 and 2.3 iirc but luckily for the baby bronco it's not an issue.
And as for tuners, yeah I mean you want to do your research and make sure they're familiar with the platform and they've done tuning on it. Check reviews. That's why I went with the force performance on my escape because he was one of the few guys that actually did the escape and he'd done a bunch and the reviews are really good. You could look around on the forums and there was a lot of people who at least supposedly actually had gotten them and they worked good and i had no problems with mine.
But that's a canned tune that you're getting online. A dyno tune is something different. Were you actually take it into a place and they throw it on a dyno and you get a custom tune just for you. I've had those done as well. Those are a bit pricier. I just wanted to make sure that we're making the distinction here.
Last time I got one of those was a couple years ago and it cost me about $1,000 but when I got my tune for the escape from unleashed performance I had to buy a SCT tuner that came preloaded with one of my choice and then you can pay like 50 or $100 for more iirc and usually they would do it by octane but I think he had a few other special ones too and then you could also do kind of like a custom tune where he would send you a base and you would run it and he adjusts it from there.
Quick update I just checked his website and it's unleashed tuning and he is only doing a custom tune for the sport right now for $250 and you need an sct tuner too either through him or somewhere else to load the tunes on which then uploads them to your car.
