Take the ecu to somone that can turn off the security.
Depends where you are some ford workshops will do it and others will say you cant turn it off.

Your question is VERY vauge if you ask more direct questions you will get more answers. You will need a dyno/performance shop to disable the ecu security not a ford dealer.

Searching for threads of X/E-Series with B/F-Series conversions should give you a better idea of what questions to ask.

Yeah I meant build threads here. Use Advanced Search to narrow it down to only the build threads. I'm guessing the XF ones will be of more help than E-Series.
