Xr6 Turbo Issues Sluggish

[coreys912516]

hey guys have an issue my ba xr6t, when its about to come on boost I get the brrrr noise and it feels sluggies it never was like this when I drove it home and that was a 460km drive, I took it for a drive today and it was doing it at 40 just crusing its due for an service it has 107,000 on the clock. its got me a bit worried as I have only have had it for 2 days now and starting to have trouble .. have read some things on here it could be the Boost Solenoid so im hoping its an easy fix ...kinda like its got tc on and holding back .. thanks for reading guys much appreciated!

One of the first things I did when I got my BA was take it in for a full service with a reputable tuner. Let him go over it with an experienced hand and report back so you can work out what is first things first to get sorted out. Sounds like this may be the best thing to do if you've only had the car for 2 days

Sorry mate, forgot where you are from - if you could let us know - we might be able to suggest a few places to go to.

yeah I was thinking that but ive got new tyres to pay,rego green biggest sh*t but im very happy with it wouldnt swap it for the fastest Late model camira in the world ! im from wollongong and have no idea where a good tuner is and how much you think this would cost aswell as you have been trough it all

Plugs and Coil packs possibly

Sounds like the spark is being blown out,if you are keeping the car for a while bung some genuine coils and NGK Iridium plugs in her.Fuel,air and oil filter change wouldn't go astray either.If you come across a crappy idle the rip the throttle body off and give it a good clean,I do this every oil change(5k) or race meeting tbh.

Servicing the boost solenoid is a good idea along with checking all the exhaust manifold/turbo bolts(14mm).On the passenger side of the block the turbo is fed from a line exiting there,make this line replacement a priority as the feed line cokes up and blocks the turbo oil supply.Look up Earls BA oil feed line.Inlet manifold bolts(10mm) are also worth checking to see if at correct spec.

When has the trans fluid been changed and has it got an oil cooler bypassing the std radiator?Doing this eliminates the cross mixing of fluids as the radiators are prone to splitting and sending coolant through the trans.

Lastly......hows the diff bush?

M8 do a service on it plugs, coils, etc , but sounds like to me TPS, or valve springs. But hopeful it mite b plugs or coils.

GTEXXED and theone thanks for that ill be doing a full service tomorrow.plugs oil change oil filter air filter fuel filter and ill be doing the boost solenoid with wd-40 first cause its over due for that by 2,000 so im hoping its that and if I still getting the issue ill be looking into the other stuff and if that dont work out ive got a tuner lined up to look at it talked to him on the phone for about half an hr and he seemed like he has done alot of fords so im very happy with that he said ill be paying up to $250 for dyno,scan tool and him just looking for the problem.. is that over priced at all? ... so if he finds the problem and I want him to fix it.it will cost me how ever so much ontop of $250
