Might be a dumb question but is there anyway to see if these cars have a upgraded thermostat?

panther427

ya. if its stock and warm the gauge will be centered. If its aftermarket it will be slightly lower. or with the SCT monitor the coolant temp if it stays closer to 180 or 170 when warm its got a different T-stat. Stock will be 190ish

So no freaking 3 bar.. how was this car tuned?? I have the sct, couldn't tell what tune is on it but there's only 1. I'm thinking just go ahead and hurry and get it retuned..I just wanna make sure there's no other hidden modifications.

Seems like the same part number that ZSHO had on his MAP just recently while at the track.  Yeah, definitely not the right 3 bar, if a 3 bar at all.  CX-2228


Retuned for the 2 bar would be good.  Install the 3 bar later and have the tune updated for that.

EDIT:  Definitely a 2 bar the one you have:

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!

What's the difference 3 bar better to tune or makes more power?

Both if you really do have upgraded turbos.  Could explain why they didn't see a big power gain with meth.   Stock sensor only reads 14.7 psi with the 3 bar sensor that goes to 29.4 if I remember correctly.  With an aggressive tune and low altitude you can Max out the stock sensor with stock turbos.  So you can tune better which allows more power.

Both great tuners...best thing would be write down what you're looking for in the tuning process and call both personally.

Yep that's my plan. I know everyone has something good and bad to say about any tuner haha.
