I never understood swapping out a BOV/DV unless it's leaking or can't hold the boost it's seeing etc.

Use OEM bump stops or cut them for B6 with HR springs? I'm looking to install new suspension on my ST because my rear shocks are leaking. New OEM front strut tops Bilstein B6 HR springs What else should I get?

The new Livernois tune seems to shift pretty well. At least a lot better than stock.

Got around to installing the SP-542 (.028 gap). Interesting the OEM plugs on my 2019 that I removed are in fact SP578 CYFS12YPT. They didn't look great at 45K miles. Idles and drives maybe a little smoother. A few notes from the install - As simple as it was a screwdriver popped the plastic clips off Ford's favorite 8mm nut stud. Otherwise they were not fun. Before the intercooler pipe can be moved, the blow off valve/diverter valve dump tube needs to be removed. It's a PITD. I used a spray bottle with some really really hot soapy water and it came off a lot easier. Once you get the intercooler pipe / air cleaner outlet pipe moved left (passenger) of the wiring harness it becomes more easily moveable. Once the pipe is to the left of the wiring harness, it makes sense to secure it with something (zip-tie, wire, tie-down, shoe-lace, or even duct tape like I had within reach). Now there's plenty of clearance for that coil. Was able to fit my CDI (1501MRMH) 1/4 torque wrench on every plug. 133 in-lbs / 15 Nm / 11 ft-lb

I have a set of SP-542 I found in a box from when I bought the ST in 2019. 6 years later I'm getting around to installing them 😅

I will take my advance and some more psi as well please 😁

My thought and hope as well. When I reinserted the cooler it "felt" good and "clicked/plopped" into place. A feeling I would get if an o-ring connection was seated. At least that's what I tell myself

Here's to hoping that end o-ring holds that fiber gasket on. I would have removed the cooler completely but the subframe was in the way. Maybe if the exhaust gets dropped you can swing the metal element down.

Not lot of detailed info on this; only a handful of threads here. The procedure was pretty simple but has gotchas and other things I didn't really care for. For example the torque on the PTU fill plug, you'll never get 33 ft/lbs on that. I stopped turning before I got to 28 ft/lb and noticed the plug was deeper than when I first took it out and stopped. There's also no way, as mentioned in another thread here, that you can completely remove the PTU cooler without removing the crossmember there. You can however, pull the cooler out far enough to drain the fluid. Make sure not to screw up the o-ring on the cooler though, or you will be dropping the crossmember. Those of you with just a plug here and no cooler don't have to worry about this as your plug comes right out. Here's the fill plug and PTU cooler with the stud/nut showing. When I opened the fill plug not even a dribble of fluid came out. I had to use a combo of 1/4" 8mm socket and 8mm flex head closed end ratchet on the nuts. Or you can drop the exhaust. I kept the 1-piece stud/nut and just reused them. The PTU cooler pops out easily, or as much as it can before hitting the subframe. The coolers metal rod elements extend the length of PTU basically. Here she is draining. You can see the o-ring - do not mess it up. Brake cleaner will be your exhausts best friend. I'd say I spilled an ounce or more other than what's in the container but I tried to measure what came out of it. In the sun. Didn't look too bad I thought for 40k miles but idk. Reinstalled PTU cooler and cleaned everything up. Inserted the stud/nuts and torqued to 97 in/lb Here's what I use to fill up transmissions and differentials. Just a regular water vacuum pump you can get on Amazon for $10. Easy peasy no mess no pumping just press a button. I put as much oil as it would take until it started streaming out. Then I spun the tires several times by hand and waited a few more minutes before pumping more fluid in. When the stream stopped and turned into a drip I put the fill plug back on with some thread sealant. Like I said above I don't like how Ford says 33 ft/lbs on the fill plug - that's not happening at least on mine. All cleaned up and done. I'll check the level again in 100 miles or so. The fill plug is inserted further than it was from the factory at 28ft/lbs. Be careful with aluminum. And that's pretty much it. It should take about an hour if you have access to a lift. As with everyone else, I have no idea why Ford couldn't put a drain plug other than to purposely let PTU's eat themselves after the warranty period.

Take your pick which to wear out first. Brake pads or transmission. I'll take the pads.

I called BBK and they said they don't have anything to work on a 2019> Edge ST.

They should include a AAA membership for towing 😁

Thanks I had it backwards!

So which BBK throttle body works on 2019> Edge ST?
