Posted 07/03/05 02:14 AM Share Posted 07/03/05 02:14 AM lawsy taking it back to ford on wednesday what shouldnt you tell them they asked how I knew performance was down I told them I drove a mates t sedan and it was heaps quicker should I tell them ive had a boost gauge on it ?SeanIf they can give me ANY theoretical or practical explanation as to why a boost guage would cut around 100rwkw, I'd love to hear it.If they can't, or when they can't because they won't, then they must fix the issue. You could always find a g-tech from someone on the forums and run that a few times and then compare it to one of there XT falcons..... I'm sure they will get the picture pretty soon. And don't worry about using a g-tech to provide times. All you need is a 0-100 time and that can be done legally on any highway, and this isn't thrashing the car.
