  1. Makes me wish I had waited for a 2016+ edge instead of grabbing a 2015 lol.
  2. Active Grill Shutter, that is what i was trying to remember. Thanks for the info. Not i just have to remember to actually go and look at the grill before its been running a while.
  3. oh never knew that thanks! i will get a chance to do it probably in a couple days when a cool front moves in lol. unless you just mean the car itself just doesn't need to have been ran for a while then ill check tonight haha!
  4. oh gotcha. didn't realize the change in PTU for the gen2. well monkey balls! lol
  5. I forget what the technical name is for our little flaps that open and close depending on speed for aero drag efficiency. Is there any way to test these ourselves without having a camera mounted on the grill? Reason I ask is my Torque app showed me a possible Module failure with mine but I'm not actually sure if anything is wrong or if it is just a compatibility issue with the app reading a PID wrong.
  6. Just curious isn't our PTU on the AWD a huge weak point already? From so many threads on here i figured this type of power gains would basically just be to much for the PTU. Or is the PTU not quite as unreliable as some have made it out to be on here?
  7. Good ole atco and its negative DAs. Great place to run!
  8. yea I had Just bought it about 30 min prior so the dang thing was stiff as hell. I guess I could have used a heat gun/blow dryer as well either way ill be prepared next time haha. Those hooks do look quite handy as well I will have to order a set.
  9. Everything about the Oil change was actually the easiest I have ever done minus that one small seal that goes on the oil filter cap tip. I wound up using to screw drivers in a scissor action to thread it after 5 or so minutes trying to do it by hand. I do have to say I enjoy how convenient the newer style oil plug is to remove and put back on.
  10. I doubt its about waiting for someone else to do the research more than one assuming someone may already have the knowledge without searching. It is also common sense to post the question on a forum while at the same time searching it on your own as well. It is fairly simple don't read or reply to someones post if it causes you to melt.
  11. Ohhhh I didn't realize the $1450 was for all of them. That makes a little more sense to me now. Thanks for the heads up on that $177 isnt that bad then. I'm basically wanting just good breakdowns of the engine bay and such to get a good idea of exactly where everything is This engine bay is so compact its hard to see everything lol.
  12. I noticed this as I was taking stuff off and looking around the intake setup. In the rubber intake accordion hose as I call it coming from the Airbox there looks to be 2 little ports directing air elsewhere. One of the ports the seal or whatever looks possibly warped. I tried touching it with a flat head and it didn't budge felt hard. Anyone noticed anything similar with theirs? ill attach a couple picture. sorry for the somewhat blurry picture the phone did not want to focus.
  13. Yep exactly. For whatever reason the GM version of that ford system is easy to attain for about every vehicle they made lol.
  14. I did quite a bit of searching didnt come across anything close to the amount of in-depth schematics im looking for Minus helminc and i had forgot about Chilton lol. I will check them out. Just not keen on paying Helm 1k for it.
  15. Minus Helminc are there any schematics/documentation of the layout to take apart or put back together/repair everything for the Edge. The biggest thing ive missed going from GM to Ford these last 3-4 years is ive been able to attain complete schematics for basically every nut and bolt for my GM vehicles without having to pay an arm or a leg. Just curious if anyone was able to get there hands on anything of the sort.
  16. oh cool thanks. I have yet to get under the vehicle minus a quick inspection.
  17. Yep you mentioned exactly what I was seeing I could see light around the hood latch area from that tube. and you are not lying I have never seen such a horrible design Especially for FI. multiple hard 90 degree turns. Honey combing inside the top of the airbox which causes air turbulence. I guess the Edge just isn't a big enough money maker in the aftermarket world for companies to make anything. I have been trying to figure out on the vaccar sema edge what the guy did about the air sensor in the top of the removed airbox or if he just never actually drives the thing and just made it look pretty for show and didn't even re-hook that back in somewhere.
  18. Yall were right on the money. I logged the RPM in Torque and i hit 6114 as a peak RPM and hit 18 psi in boost,
  19. haha! yea i was already looking at the intake and what not before it got dark trying to figure out how its all piped. the stock airbox is a horrible design for smooth airflow and I am guessing its like pulling air from right under the hood ni that little gap area?
  20. How has your unleashed tune been? i plan to get a tune on this thing in the next few weeks is there really any difference between Unleashed and livernoise (sure i misspelled that) or basically just personal preference?
  21. torque showed a maximum boost of 17 psi which I think is what it should peak at? Everything seems to be running well and strong. 13k miles on it. couldn't find any indications of leaks or anything. happy so far.
  22. either im blind or just not looking in the right spot but i cannot find anything mentioning the RPM limit. I'm assuming the redline on these vehicles are not at the 4750 rpm listed for its peak HP as that seems fairly low but i guess i could be wrong. so does anyone happen to know what is the redline for the RPM? This mainly just for parameters in my Torque app to get accurate readings.
  23. Ohh ok i guess I havent ever referred to it as that so it had me thinking it was something spefific to AWD lol. thanks for the info.
  24. Yea I plan on getting it tuned. just was curious about the actual products that make up the turbo setup. this is probably a dumb question.. what does PTU stand for? ive only ever driven rwd muscle cars and can't recall seeing those 3 letters haha.
  25. I did some searching and couldn't find specifics on what turbos are being used in conjunction with the 2.7. was just curious on the brand/size. Also is it even possible to put in larger turbos or is that not an option? I had read the 2.7 has a little different setup with how the turbos are bolted in vs most setups. I plan to get a 2015 Edge sport Tomorrow and im just thinking about what things i may modify if its possible.
