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 ?

Sean

If 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.

Sean,

Tell them you got the 16.7 on the GTech and that you are a forum member and several people have commented on how SLOW it is.

There is also nothing wrong with mentioning there is NO BOOST :k24t: and that they should have picked up this very noticable problem.

Shame ford shame

I hope it all gets sorted out first time :blush:
