Default 2016 mod opinions

What's up people, I'm new to "the world of mods" and have done some research on different mods for my Ecoboost. I am looking to do some light mods that will give me some mild increases in performance while hoping to keep a warranty on my cars engine and power train. I know I'm probably walking on thin ice with trying to do any mods at all but of course I can't help myself...
Here is my plan:

1) Ford performance tune/CAI
2) Turbosmart dual port BOV
3) CPE intercooler (keeping stock pipes)
4) Mishimoto catch can
5) Gibson x-pipe cat back

My main goal is to not ever need the warranty by keeping proformance gains within the engines capabilities.
A) Do you think engine can handle these mods and still be reliable?
B) Is this considered light modifications?
C) What engine/powertrain problems might occur?

Yes that is considered light, and as for the motor, those new ecoboosts can handle upwards of 500hp on a stock block. With those mods, the engine will be just as reliable as long as everything is installed correctly.

Welcome to the forum.

For more responses, try asking this in the appropriate Tech section, the one specific to your year Mustang. Just alot more members in those areas.

Good luck

Thanks Vinny for the response, do u think a throttle body spacer could squeeze more performance out of this setup?

Go back to the Home page and just scroll down till you see the beginning of the Tech Section, then find the sub-forum for your year Mustang.

Good luck
