2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Removed all the boost hoses from my Flex except for the bottom one, it's about 116 in my garage so I'll tackle the bottom one under the car in the morning. :)

Turned 1K on the tune!  Almost raced a 5.0 on the tollway.  I SHO'ed him a little power.  He got off.  Probably scared him. 

Be careful of those 5.0s...I came from one with just a tune and it is much faster than our cars except from the dig.

This morning I went out and pulled my engine cover off.  I also took off that black round piece of foam that slips over what I think is a fuel regulator or some kind of vent(?).  (Bright shiny module in the center of front valve cover.) Hopefully it will help the heat dissipate.  Then I detailed the engine compartment. 

I also pumped up my tires from 36 to 38 cold.  If you can put 40 in a Flex I figured I could put 38 in a SHO.  I reset the TPMS (a continuing problem) yesterday and thought a couple more pounds might help it from faulting.  Should handle a little better too.

That is the DI Fuel Pump.  I painted my Foam cover with Black Paint.  I feel it has benefit as it keeps some heat from directly getting to DI pump, keeping fuel possibly cooler.

Put the foam thing back on, that helps a ton with the noise from CDFP

The "fuel regulator thing" is the High Pressure Fuel Pump. Putting the foam back on there definitely cuts down on the noise generated by the pump. It doesnt really bother me, so I usually just leave it off

I have to make a few runs this afternoon.  I'll see how it is with out.  EBB-Mine is black so no paint required!   ;D

I dig it.  Do you just spray on the Plasti-dip and then trim and peel around it?  How many coats and how long to dry? How many cans did you use?

A squeak or rattle would drive me nuts.  I'm glad they found it!

Thanks!  Did you wait an hour between coats?  Or just after the last coat before you peeled.  I was thinking of scoring the edges with a blade?
