It started doing all this when the spark plugs and coils were changed, I had them gapped but someone else mentioned they may not have gapped them correctly. Will get someone else this weekend to check them out Thankyou for your comment

I have the same issue, was “tuned” at 15psi when I purchased it, at first it was the actuator. Changed the actuator to a stock one and new battery cables. Changing the actuator dropped the psi (8) which was fine because it doesn’t have a lot of mods. It was happy for 6 months. It started again so I put it into a ford workshop in feb, told them all the issues such as; cutting out at 4000rpm after not building boost properly making the car lose all acceleration and would shake its nuts off until I put my foot into it or turned it off. I didn’t care how much it cost As long as it’s fixed as it’s a very clean and tidy ute with an easy 130k kms on the clock. Another actuator + solenoid, boost T and some piping Later and it again jumped up to 10psi and was going hard! Until a week ago and now it’s worse then before. Throwing a wastegate code aswell as doing the throttle cut running 3.5psi which was the same after the first actuator. im upgrading injectors, fuel pump, new turbo which is crap because it has no shaft play but apparently if the wastegates getting stuck you can’t really fix it?? Since changing the Coil packs and spark plugs Is when the issue started again. gapped correctly and had 2 different mechs suss them out

Hi guys I have a nice little 05 Ba Xr6t ute with 130km on the clock. It was cutting out when I bought it at 4000rpm running A “tuned” 15psi. Since then I have had the actuator taken out and replaced with a stock one, boost dropped To 8psi. Was running fine for a month. It then dropped psi to a low 3.5Psi and kept cutting out. I put it into another ford garage in feb to have whatever the issue was fixed. They changed the actuator solenoid,actuator and installed a boost T. No boost leaks. 8psi. It ran great until about a week ago. When running like crap It won’t build boost properly, cuts out but goes into either limp mode or what it did with the actuator problem. On the Ngauge before it throws the code “P1228”/wastegate code it was hitting 8/10 psi and goes like the clappers. When it’s not building boost etc it’s only going to 5psi. we are thinking the wastegate is getting stuck open aswell as another actuator issue and possibly not getting enough fuel. thoughts? At my wits end!
