Hello!
I’ll start a build thread even though I’m well into my 2019 3.5 buildup. I still have a lot I want to do and also share experiences with others I’ve gone through with this build. Still want Upgrade brakes, many cosmetic changes, etc but....
this is what I have so far. 10-14-2020
-6in BDS suspension lift
-ICON Delta joint upper control arms
-FOX 2.5 Remote Reservoir Front Coilovers
-FOX 2.0 Remote Reservoir Rear Shocks
-Fuel Assault 20X12.5
-Toyo R/T Open Country’s 35X12.5X20
-Ford Performance plugs
-SCT with 5Star custom tune
-AFE CAI
-AMS Turbo inlet tubes
-Full Race Freak O Boost intercooler
-SPD 170° thermostat
-SPD catted downpipes
-SPD turbo adapters
-4in resonator delete
-AFE 4in catback
-turbosmart supersonic blowoff valve
Now back to the beginning. 6-8-2020
Project started with a completely bone stock 2019 3.5TT Stone grey XLT crew with 20,000 miles. First added was a BDS 6in suspension lift along with Fuel Assaults in 20X12.5.
Next I wanted to start with the performance modifications. SPD turbo adapters, and catted downpipe were added. Followed by a full 4in resonator delete and AFE catback.
I went with a AFE CAI
SCT with first custom 5Star tune on 93oct
then AMS turbo tubes, and SPD 170° thermostat
Best addition by far is the Full Race relocated freak-o-boost intercooler. I’m seeing that the ecoboosts respond extremely well when addressing the high heat issues.
last week I just finished up front and rear suspension upgrades.
Any additions you think I should possibly add or swap out? What do you all think?

cervini ram air hood
head lights/tail lights/fog lights etc all LED
custom front bumper
-have to get a new bumper skin, I can only find the one I have with fog lights in chrome. I’ll have it acid dipped and then painted with primer. I want it then color matched to the truck. I think it flows so much better than most of the aftermarket bumpers.
other than that I’m not 100% certain. Maybe change out the speakers? 🤷🏻♂️

Any problems arise? Did you add the blow off with the intercooler?
