  1. For a little MPG loss, the air shutters to the inter cooler will always be open keeping maximum airflow to it. Less heat soak that way.
  2. I know I could always have LMS disable the AGS on my 2019 SE (2.0). However, on my Focus ST I unplugged the AGS system and was wondering if there was something similar to that on the 2019 Edge? I don’t want to be ripping parts off just to look for a plug. Anyone know a location?
  3. Is there some reason Switchbacks are not shown when I search for a 2019+ edge front turn signals? I use the base model with no LED DRL strip. I'd LOVE to get my parking lights to be white to match the headlights and flash amber when turning. The bulb seems to be a 7440.
  4. Ugh... If you made this for the 2019, you'd make a killing... starting with me!
  5. I had an aFe Pro Dry S for a long time and went with K&N for a little more power but it seems to have made my idle rough after a few hundred miles and I used to average 26-28mpg mixed and now get 19-21. I'm running the same tune and same exhaust. New tires should not make it idle rough. Only thing that changed under the hood was the K&N. I have about 14,500 miles on my Edge.
  6. Correct. I'm trying to find that location.
  7. I bought a K&N drop in a few months back and lately my 2.0 2019 Edge has had a little rougher idle and getting significantly less MPG. I think the oil from the filter has dirtied the MAP sensor. I am going back to my aFe Dryflow S, but I'd like to check/clean the MAP. Where is it located? Is it that plug right after the air box? I keep seeing a box shaped unit online which doesn't look like that plug I'm referring to. Any help here?
  8. Just saw this video and I wonder if the silver trim and buttons are removable? I'd like to vinyl wrap mine to protect it.
  9. If only America was the same. Tire Shops here either overtighten or scratch your wheels and deny it. The local Tire Shop that I use was dumbfounded at 162 ft/lb.
  10. So you think 150 would be fine? I'm sure it's not gonna go anywhere with that much. Tire shops do what? 100?
  11. I looked up the torque values for the thread and it's 85-95 ft/lb for 14x1.5 thread. Ford has the f150 do 150 ft/lb. I guess I'll stick with 150 because that's as high as my torque wrench will go. It also depends on the strength of the lugs as well. Method wheels are supposed to be strong, so I'll test that theory out. Ill have to worry about the lugs themselves.
  12. I saw that thread as well. That's for OEM aluminum wheels. If I had OEM aluminum, I'd have no problem going to 162 ft/lb. However, Methods are flow formed lightweight aluminum and very expensive! I don't even know if the lug nuts they provide can handle that torque either. I asked about the lug nuts, and Method once again said "95 lb/ft max". Sounds like they're playing by the book. I guess I can always try something in the middle around 120 ft/lb.... Hell... The F-450 is rated for 140 ft/lb!
  13. I drive a 2019 SE and the manual says to torque lug nuts to 162 ft/lb which is insane. I have a new set of Method rally wheels coming in with standard lug nuts from Tire Rack and I'm afraid 162 ft/lb is gonna crack the flow formed aluminum. Should I stick with factory spec? Method themselves said 95 ft/lb maximum for *their lug nuts on their wheels* EDIT: I just got an email from Method when I asked about using other lug nuts, and their response was "The recommendation from our engineers on a vehicle with Method Race Wheels and a 14x1.5 thread pitch would be 85 min and 95 max ft/lb." So I'm not sure if that's too low for what the manufacturer recommends which is an astounding 162 ft/lb. I just don't want a wheel to fall off!
  14. Anyone have that part name/number for the little drawer, as I'd like to add that to my 2019? EDIT : It's called the Stowage Box and part 46441 from what I see online. It's like $120 and up - anyone got a black one they wanna part with? Also any measurements as to how big it is on the inside?
  15. Looking at a set of OEM sized Wildpeak AT Trails or debating going to 265/60R18. No lift and stock wheels. Will this work.
  16. What year is your Edge, and why are you switching out the turbo? If you are going to a bigger turbo, I don't think you'd gain any power as a tune is required. Livernois is the only company that I know of that works with the 2.0 Edge, and I'm not sure if they will do work with a non-factory turbo. If it's a stock turbo swap, I'm not exactly sure what the process entails. I'm thinking that you'd have to pull the motor to access the turbo?
  17. Update: my Edge is still in the shop. I have threatened lemon law. Ford sent the dealer three APIM directly from the factory and they all have the same issue. I'm thinking they'll need to write a new firmware from scratch. At this point, I'm just ready to give up and live with it.
  18. The factory fogs are indeed LED but they're proprietary and can't be swapped out. I'm driving a 2020 loaner now and the fogs are decent but not what I'm looking for. All they do is light up the front quarters of the vehicle. No distance nor front emission.
  19. Yeah. Also it's an issue I can live with. It's not like it's impairing my ability to do anything.
  20. If they offered a buyback I wouldn't do that. I like my Edge and already have done mods to it. It is new with 14k miles. If it was stock, I'd probably do it.
