ha thank god for ford I remember my parents had trouble with their BA back in the day ford didn't want anything to do with it and it was only like 6 months old. But any way thanks for that, all these solutions sound exactly like what mine is doing so hopefully next weekend ill get home and I can fix it. Cant wait to make some decent power out of it. Thanks mate

The BOV in my old VL used to stick sometimes due to age, but I just took it off and sprayed some inox in the top.

Thanks for the great advice I will be trying these both when I get home will post up how I went. Cheers

Thanks heaps for the advice will check that for sure.

Hey ive owned a Ba mk2 xr6 for about a month now and has the typical overboost problem, the boost gauge(specometer) hits about 10 to 11 then drops back a bit to maybe 8 to 9. Did have a leaky boost gauge when I got it but I fixed the hose on the back of it. Don't really know if its been tuned or not Was wondering if the boost can be manually adjusted ??? The car runs fine in 1st, 2nd and third being able to wind out the gears to well over 5000 rpm but as soon as you bring it on boost in 4th, 5th or 6th it hits the overboost straight away and in extreme cases the car has to be turned off and on again after that the car will run fine again. Will be getting it on a dyno asap but its a bit hard as I work away and only back weekends mainly. Thought if I could manually adjust boost I could see if that was the problem and not something else. Thanks for your help. Aaron. P.S. Car has 205000 klms, completely stock apart from cat back exhaust, motor runs extremely well at idle no noises or anything right through the rev range and pulls very well and is a 6 speed manual. Cheers.
