I thought the turbo reached boost at 2000rpm, thus the reasonably flat torque curve from there up to the rev limiter Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8435-lack-of-power/#findComment-80896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had 4psi at 80kph (2500 revs).Brian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8435-lack-of-power/#findComment-80902 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw ths problem on an xr6t in december and sorted the problem after the vehicle had been back to ford on 5 occasions. Need less to say the owner was stocked when we sorted the problem.
