December 21, 201114 yr #1 Hi Guys I'm new to the Xr6 turbo Scene and I've just purchased an 03 ba xrt and I was driving home last night when I lost around 4psi of boost (Boost Gauge Reading) and a sound that's probably best described as a whooshing..... the car's got a warranty on it so I dont wanna start playing around with the piping on it.... Does anyone have any idea as to what it could be?
December 21, 201114 yr #2 Whats mods does the car have? Pretty common for these cars too split the joiner between the cross over and throttle body.
December 21, 201114 yr #3 Author APS ExhaustAPS injectorsAPS tuneSilicone coolant hosesHyper Flow intercoolerIt's not missing at all or overheating, just the loss of boost and the sound. Would it be recommended to upgrade the piping (as long as the warranty company doesn't have a fit)?
December 21, 201114 yr #5 Yeh, good lucky with the warranty with those mods mate..Sounds like a split pipe though
December 21, 201114 yr #6 Author It's a sentinel warranty through national, I did a double take when I found out as well..... As for the piping issue if I can do it without voiding the warranty does anyone have any recomendations?
December 22, 201114 yr #7 Author Just had the car checked out at Vidottos in seaford to check the piping.... They cant seem to find the issue... The turbo is definitely still spooling but I'll need to get it onto a dyno to isolate the problem, can anyone recommend a decent mechanic in the seaford area with a dyno?
December 22, 201114 yr #8 There's not much open now I think you can try JD Custom in Mornington 59757005 but might be hard around this time of year!
December 23, 201114 yr #9 Author yup....Not much use stressing over it now though.... the cars still driveable (If taken easily) so I'll ring around first thing after new years.. I'll def's give JD customs a ring Nomis!
