EcoBoost Chip Recommendation

EcoBoost Chip Recommendation
Has anybody used a performance chip for their EcoBoost motor? If so, what were your results in terms of mpg and/or hp improvement?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Also, are these chips in conflict with Ford's warranty and/or an extended warranty?<o></o>
Finally, does anyone have a recommendation i.e. manufacturer, model, cost, etc for the 2012 FX 4x4, EcoBoost?
Thanks.<o></o>

There actually doesn't appear to be much info on chips for the EB trucks. They are available from Mikes and many other sources but it seems that only a few guys have actually chipped them.
So, I encourage any all questions regarding our trucks, even if they've been asked before. It's up to John or me to merge threads if the subjects are that closely related.

I'm tuned with tunes from 5-star tuning on an SCT tuner. I'm also running an AFE stage II intake and magnaflow single side 3" exhaust. Once you've driven a tuned truck, you'll never go back. Turbo whistle is sweet, exhaust has a nice tone to it.
Mike at 5-star is a stand-up guy. Customer service is #1, and he's very patient with technological idiots like myself who have a tough time figuring things out with computers. Bonus to Mike is the SCT crew, who is very helpful at all times.

I am told by a very good service manager that if you have a serious engine problem (blown engine, burned up tranny, rear end, transfer case, or turbo issue) that Ford first will request that the dealer send the computer to them for testing. They can tell if it has been tuned and reset to factory. If they find that it has been tuned, warrenty is void.
That does not mean that starter, alternator, and all the other stuff on the engine or vehicle is void, but the powertrain warrenty will be void.
