Just for your interest, Ford are going to charge $99 an hour to re-flash the car! They couldn't give me a definate price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for your interest, Ford are going to charge $99 an hour to re-flash the car! They couldn't give me a definate price.←Should be $99 divided by 4. cos it would only take 15 minutes max!But knowing Ford, they will multiply it by 4 just for the sake of it.If the mechanic tried an aftermarket boost control and it still didn't boost I would be ruling out the ECU for now. Look for exhaust blockages (stopping the turbo from spooling up) or even exhaust leaks (before the turbo).I would also not rule out the turbo itself.How did he get the 5psi out of thr turbo on some runs? If your mechanic spent 7 hours and couldn't find it I would try a different mechanic.Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sometimes the car doesn't start at all, it completely shuts down.....no lights or electrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
