Xr6 Turbo Issues Sluggish

[bionicxr6t05]

Def had water in there mate that's your problem! Hows the coil cover gasket?

[Stazza_Brendan]

Wouldn't surprise me if that coil is cactus. How many are like that.

Don't be disheartened by a few early teething troubles. Will all be worth it once it's running sweet

I bet when they washed the motor down some water went down there... rookie error

bionicxr6t05 the coil cover gasket was a little off .. so when I put it all back on it fixed it up ....Stazza_Brendan there was only 2 like that the 2 that are in the pics ... so by all means I should get a new set of coils ??? ... the car is running pretty fine but can feel a little miss hap when idle !! but its comming on boost good and not doing the brrrrr noise and backing off like it was when I wrote this so very happy .....oh im far from disheartened ... hey all cars have there little ups and downs that's jsut how it is im over the moon I have finaly got what I have wanted ... it was either vyss or as xr6turbo and who won that's right xr6t :D and all you girls and guys on here are bloody awesome couldnt be happer :D

Even if the 2 coils are fine now. By the look of that corrosion the spring that's in the lower part of the coil could be corroded. Thin springs like that in the coils could break when corroded. With the kms you have at the moment. Coils are due for replacement soon anyway.

If/when ya do your plugs dont forget to give your throttle body abit of a spruce up with some carby cleaner and also check all your manifold bolts are tight.

You'll need a 10mm spanner also in 1/4 socket for the intake side and 13mm for the exhaust manifold and 14mm for the 4 bolts that hold the turbo on.

If ya have a normal socket set with the 150mm bar and the felxy bit you'll be able to get the bottom right bolt of the 4 bolts that holds the turbo on.

Im pretty sure the bolts that hold the dump pipe onto the turbo are 13mm's but they could be 14's cant really remember on the stockaz.

Pretty sure the throttle body needs a 5mm alan key to get it off. Up to you if ya wanna buy another gasket for the throttle body ya should be able to get it off without tearing.

Do that and your coils and you'll be all good if ya cbf of course LOL.

A new set of plugs fixed mine on the weekend, I also noticed a couple of the coil packs were missing that rubber bit placed on top to hold them down under the plastic cover. If the problem returns, I will be replacing coil packs for sure as they looked like original factory items. Can anyone confirm if factory BA coil packs are 'Visteon' brand?
