2 blown turbos

Great job!! You just saved yourself at least 2g's.
Can't believe how DESTROYED that BOV is.

Until you block off the damaged port/charge pipe you still won't see boost.
If you do go VTA you'll need to block off the recirculation pipe opening.
 
Agreed with Glock...you can't "just" swap the front to rear (if I read that right)? You will need to cap it so it will hold 10-15 lbs of boost since it is leaking or entirely remove it and fashion some type of block off plate. Or ideally overnight yourself a new one and swap it...

I only said swap the front to the rear because the rear one has to be plugged in so it doesn't throw a code. And also mentioned that if he was not able to make a block plate for the front BOV that he could simply gut the crappy one that came from the rear and cap off both the plug in side and the air side of the crappy valve since it's leaking throughout. The front one can be unplugged and not throw a code.  I'd like to hear an update.  This is just to get by until you have the new BOV of course.  Sorry for the confusion

Good advise sab, I didn't read previous post. But you nailed it on the head.
 
Guys.  I just made a major discovery.  Atleast I think it is.  look at the pic attached.  On the throttle body right beneath the sensor with the red cap.  There is a black circular thing sticking out.  On my car, its not there. there is a hole there like the cap (or whatever it is,) is missing.  I included the photo for BigMac's hotpipe install and mine is beneath it.  What is that part, how important is it and could that be part of my boost issues since its on the throttle body?

Good find! It's why we post all the pics. 
The same "opening" is capped on the pic of my car... And I just looked under the hood to verify that. The large circular object (white) is the throttle plate controller and the opening (that should be capped) below the electrical connection is around the medial end of the control bar that crosses and holds the throttle plate .... It actually rotates to open and close the throttle plate. There is a mirror image on the lateral side. I do believe it should be capped. You can see the engagement grooves for the cap that is missing. It very well could be causing a turbo leak... Or even a throttle problem in our drive by wire systems.

Start the car, engine cool, and cover it with your hand or a sheet of stiff paper.  It should pull a vacuum at idle if it is in fact open to the charge system an manifold. Even if it doesn't, get a cap to protect the gears and electric motor.
 
Sometimes you can get the servo separately, IME the throttle body is much more readily available.  I have been able to locate the servo/capacitor for the Edge before, so ...

No need for alarm. It is just simply a dust cover.

There's no significant importance to it.

Mine blew off years ago, no issues.

Doesn't affect anything (having it gone).

Update on BOV:
Had the dealer go grab one from another dealer and will pick up this afternoon and install myself. (They refer to the BOV as a seal-valve.  The parts guy had no FI what a BOV was).  Still no Turbo so hope this helps address the issue.  If not, still waiting to hear if Ford HQ will pay for two new Turbos' since so close to powertrain warranty.

Any update? Did you change it out?
 
Looking through this thread, seems I am missing some posts....namely between page 3 and 4.  I cannot see the discovery or any pics ofmthe damaged BOV???  Is the missing info due to the forum move?
 
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.
