It has 156000 k's atm, but at 126000 k's an inspection was done by the ford dealership one thing of note on the report was - "Possible overboost logged, checked wastgate seems OK, needs further inspection".It's stock and certainly drives like it's not overboosting, hits peak boost very quick, so I'm assuming its fine and has since been fixed. But just for reassurance if the car did overboost an engine warning light would display correct ?
