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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it been fixed?XRT330The 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.

The computer wasn't computing the data from the throttle correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
