Wanted to provide a quick update after almost 2 months , personally i didnt see any mpg gains ( i believe this is in part to my race chip gts ). i have disabled the racechip and may even un install it for my upcoming trek home . im heading to ohio from nc to pick up a car and town it back using the st so we will get a accurate mpg on the way there and on the way back anything around 15 is a win .
zero issues with the car though , no check engine lights , bogging , power cuts . nothing it works like a charm . i did do one hard launch 3000 rpm brake boost advance trac off in sport manual mode (if you launch in manual it will auto skip 3rd ) and it was easily a low low or sub 5 launch with just a race chip and the intake . cant wait to install my charge pipe
Just did the trek home without the race chip and saw 25 mpg which is about 1-2 higher than it normally gets without the race chip so definitely good , going in for service this week ( differential is making noise https://photos.app.goo.gl/vCk4nTdR3KnH47uW6)
so I’ll be uninstalling it for the warranty just in case but 20 minutes to gain what you make is awesome , I may get a steeds for noise later one but this is stealth bomber at its best

Just received and installed , and WOW ! If you want aa stealthy gain that looks oem , installs like oem , and sounds like oem you cant make anything better , i went from a K&N drop in filter with a racechip gts set to 5 to the v3 plus my racechip on the same settings. The car feels so much more alive it takes less throttle for the entire power band in town stop and go is so much smoother . the throttle feels like a twin turbo car now and wakes up so quickly the lag in the system is all but gone with no noise added to the car (i like turbo noise but the wife has to drive it more than i do ) makes it the perfect sleeper mod hell you might not even need to worry about smog or a dealership as it all looks like a oem system paint the tubes black and you have a hidden gain . my one and only issue i had was the ford performance cover being pushed up slightly (still bolts down ) and the vacuum like that runs over the rear inlet i moved under it as it was getting pushed up from the slightly higher height of the new setup , cant wait to pair it with the dtb charge pipe and a intercooler later on what a major difference in drivability.
below is a link to my google photo dump :

After selling the last V3 and freaking out about the tax man, I decided to count all my receipts and do some book keeping. It turns out that I am a horrible business man, and it is as I said, this is a hobby and not for profit. Turns out I have lost way over $1000 so far on the V3 project in 2022. Never thought that I would be happy that it cost me as I do want to break even, but now I know I won't have to pay a boat load of tax and have a large unexpected expense.
And what that means is that I can keep making V3s until the end of the year and possibly into 2023 !!!
The order lines are now open again and another batch of V3 CAI are in the works.
PM me for price and availability.
Protect my a** BS now that the feds are all up in my S**t
THE V3 IS FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY. KNOW YOUR LOCAL LAWS BEFORE INSTALLING.
Glad to hear you can keep making these can’t wait for mine !

Ford edge st rear differential clunk
in Edge ST
Posted
So my car is a cpo blue , and ford extended warranty so I’m covered till 140k . My local dealer is ridiculous , they told me I have to pay a diag fee or a warranty deductible (this one I understand but being in warranty I’ve never paid a diag fee , and honestly it’s a terrible experience every time they treat me as if I’m stupid ( father id a 35 year tech I work in automotive selling German specialty parts )
