Is there any test you can do to determine the actuator?

Member 753 Member For: 16y 2m 5d Gender: Male Posted 28/07/09 12:52 AM Share Posted 28/07/09 12:52 AM No offense intented, but he has only tuned one other Turbo to 330rwhp (which isnt all that amazing... I made that on a dead stock engine with a generic flash tune) and sounds very lost.Other tuners have done hundreds of cars at 400rwhp+ so their experience is priceless. I understand you seem to trust this bloke, but is your engine worth his experimentation?

stevet Member 85 Member For: 17y 21d Posted 28/07/09 02:31 AM Author Share Posted 28/07/09 02:31 AM No offence taken. I dont trust this guy at all, through the information available on this forum I feel I know more about the car than he does. My situation comes down to no other options available in my area, seeing as we arent making progress I have spoken to other tuners but the problem with that is it's a days drive to take it to someone who I would say is competent with the vehicle and has the equipment and know how to deliver a good result.

Member 753 Member For: 16y 2m 5d Gender: Male Posted 28/07/09 04:17 AM Share Posted 28/07/09 04:17 AM Sounds like you'll be taking some time off work then! A days loss now will be a thousand days gained in the future when your engine doesn't explode.

stevet Member 85 Member For: 17y 21d Posted 10/08/09 08:08 AM Author Share Posted 10/08/09 08:08 AM Had car back at tuners starting to get ideas as to what might be going on. Letting the turbo freeboost it only made 15psi, measuring boost at the turbo and then at the motor was showing approx 4 - 5psi less so potentially somewhere between the turbo and the engine could be a leak, controling boost via a boost tap (instead of computer) got rid of the surging issue?!. Those are the things I remember after talking to the tuner. So at this stage we are going to take the front bumper off and check for leaks or anything that could cause a drop in boost pressure. The fact the turbo could only make 15psi MIGHT suggest its not too healthy? Dissapointing since its only got 68km on the clock, and I dont like the sound of the prices to repair these turbos. Could my cat play a part in this?? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/57248-tuning-problem/page/4/#findComment-918863 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevet Member 85 Member For: 17y 21d Posted 12/08/09 12:54 AM Author Share Posted 12/08/09 12:54 AM It only made 15psi 'freeboosting' where I guess they dissconect the boost solenoid?? and it just boosts without any control or limit. So no that's not the reason. dont know what power it made on that run??
