IcyFridge Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Perblue Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Seems kind of pointless unless you are just outright removing them. In this heat wave up here I have yet to see them ever closed. Anyone ever actually test this or is it a I just think or feel kind of thing? Any posts I've read seem to be people who think it helps but no results posted. I think the bigger problem is the cheap intercoolers they put on boosted vehicles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcyFridge Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 I unplugged it on my Focus ST and it made highway drives much more effortless. heat wave or not, they close when not in boost causing IAT to climb. I have a gauge so I can actually see the temps dropping when I’m in boost. As soon as you let off the gas, the temps increase rapidly. Having the shutters open keeps the temps low.
