i will also:

Use the AOS from the old engine (has 15.000 miles on it)
Use the MAF from the old engine (brand new)
flush and refil transmission with better fluid
inspect and clean throttle body


Thanks to Markus i've also put together a list of things for my mechanic to check. thanks again Markus!


I am skipping on upgrading the headers for now, i dont have time to do research and i need to save some money somewhere.

i do however want to put a lighter flywheel. Can someone recommend a decent brand? i found this aluminium one on warehouse33 website for 825$!!! holy moly that is expensive!!

is there a better deal out there?
also, would i need a different clutch kit with it? my clutch has 17k miles on it and i'm pretty sure it's going to be good, i dont do dumps or anything that would wear it prematurely.


am i missing anything major on my list?

damn i miss the thing! i've been driving around in a eco boost fusion and i am about to die of boredom at the wheel. back in Europe this was called the Mondeo and in manual with a NA engine it wasnt too bad back then.

thanks in advance,

Cristian
