Turbo Cut Out At High Rpm

[Zorn]

sweet, I might metre out the coils to see if there is any significant difference. I did just call a supposed expert for performance vehicles in the area and we just chewing the fat and he reckons I need to replace my turbo because it make a spool down noise for a bit when I turn the car off. Wouldn't that mean that there are a lot of screwed turbo's out there? lol

My turbo core is only 20,000 odd km old and is slightly noisy but before that it sounded like the kids up the road going down the street on their skateboards.

I don't give my car hell then park it up, that is where I DEFINITELY hear a noise after parking it. I'd have thought the play is more important if you pull the pipe off the front of the turbo however when my core was replaced it had next to no play but was noisy as hell.

I'm certain there'd be a way to test ford coils - I'd imagine two people and a fluke multimeter and you're set.

I think maybe he was just trying to put a little doubt in my mind so when he said we needed a new turbo, I wouldn't have thought too much about it

Where is the coil pack located on these?

Under black garnish cover on top of motor. Remove crossover where it says turbo intercooled, grab a few tools and you should have the coils out within half an hour easy. Watch the plugs that connect to the coils, the plastic in mine was hell brittle. Maybe have a look at the spark plugs while you're at it.

There is a coil over each spark plug.

Could be over boosting..

ECU boost cut will give you those symptoms
