Revved Member 59 Member For: 18y 10m 6d Posted 14/07/06 12:31 PM Share Posted 14/07/06 12:31 PM get a dyno test and see what the turbo is boosting at, I had similar problem and when I got the dyno I found that it was only boosting at 3.5psi, which is very low warranty got me a new one, so make sure you do it before you hit 100,000kms. or before its 3 years old!

Breathless performance and a popping exhaust. Might call it in for an early service and see what Ford say.
