Gentlemen, and those not that gentle,

I HAVE BOOST!!! 

It appears that the rear BOV was causing the issues.  It was complete destroyed (per the pics).  I picked up the BOV on Monday evening and installed it.  Didn't know how to do a forced re-learn for computer.  Last night on the way home, car felt extra powerful like I haven't felt in a while.  Thought it was do to the cool weather.  This morning got in car and again noticed increased pep in her step and wondered if I was back on track.  Pulled over at gas station and connected my SCTX4 to watch the boost level.  Drove from stop to next light and looked at boost level and it had reached +8. (prior to fixed BOV, it was reading from -11.00-0.00) and never got on the positive.  So I checked again and accelerated hard and the boost went up to 10.  I think I am back.

Now, I know how to load my custom tune but do I install 3-bar map prior to installing tune or tune first?

Good news! Yes you will want to install the 3bar and then the tune right away, don't drive or even start the car with the 3bar installed without the new tune.

By the way.  I would sincerely like to thank you guys for all the help and guidance.  U guys really are a critical part of this forum because you provide noobs like me with answers the damn mechanics at the stealerships don't or wont.  I've learned more about my car from you guys in 1 week than in my entire 6 months of having it.  So, just want to say I am truly grateful for all the input from you all. 

Now, I think I can get away with telling the wife I need a new CAI and that what the problem was since we both thought I needed 2 new turbos (per the 1st dealership).  I know not to expect anything from them except some smile from the sound.

Fitnesstrainermd - Glad you found it!
Now you need to tune it!

FWIW, if you ever need, I recommend seeing Alan at Koons in Sterling. He is a service writer. He used to own a 2010 SHO, then an Explorer Sport, so he is well versed on this platform. Also the sales mgr at the same dealer location has a SHO.

Thanks SHOdded.  However, the link just takes me to page 4 of the thread.  Still don't see any pictures of the damaged BOV (just pics of the oiled wire connector and also some pics regarding the dust cap on the throttle body piece/servo in the thread).

No worries.....was just curious.   8)

The thread just might have taken time to load, seen this especially on mobile devices when pics are involved.  So it gets stuck at the first post with lots of pics, then scrolls down, repeats, until it gets to the post that was actually linked.

Anyway, look for reply #46 in this thread.

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!

Thanks guys!  Curiosity got the best of me to see the pics.  Guessing the orange seal is some sort of rubber/Viton or something.

Guess the BOV might be something to periodically remove and check the seal?  Or, do you think removing/re-installing often would exasperate the problem?

Regardless, great find and thanks for sharing!

I wouldn't remove it... Unaware of any PM to do. IMHO very low chance of damage, but why do it... If it breaks you'll know, just like the OP.
