yeh im still guessing pipework.. I loaded the capa flash a few days ago and first time under boost BANG lol scared the sh*t outa me but the piping had come off the crossover... give it a good check and a wriggle, could look on but just sitting there

$50 later and the computer re-flashed back to factory by ford and I'm still not getting full boost, only about 1-2psi.

The pipework has been thoroughly checked about 3 times now. It couldn't be something stupid like a dead cat?

The problem is still an issue and we haven't found a fix yet. I'm waiting for the tuner to get the CAPA software so we can custom tune it to remove the problem.

I should take it back to ford but it is out of warranty and I don't feel like getting stung by them again.

How can the tuner be a tuner, without the tuning software ?

After 3 months and a stack of money later, the problem was a faulty PCM (ECU) unit.....which is gonna cost me another $1300 to fix by Ford.

is it a physical fault?

if so, that should be under warrenty because changing the software cannot cause physical damage!

or once you touch it does ford say that they cover nothing no matter how unrelated it is?

Yes the computer is not physically faulty but the car is now 4.5 years old and out of warranty. The computer wasn't computing the data from the throttle correctly.
