I'm completely capable of ripping the pads out myself so I can save some money any help would be appreciated . Also from when I first got it to now feels like the turbos lagging any way to check it any noises I should be aware of ???

Unfortunately you're about to find out opinions on brake pads are like arseholes. If it's not feeling as quick as it used to, check all the exhaust manifold/turbo mounting hardware is tight and there are no leaks. Check the intake piping for loose clamps/potential leaks. If you don't find anything you've probably just become used to the power. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92852-2015-xr6-turbo-ex-copcar-breaks/#findComment-1628506 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car did the same thing as yours not long after I bought it. I tightened the turbo and manifold bolts and it was a new car again. Check your tb to cross over rubber fitting as mine had split. P.s if they are worn to fark and broken then they could be breaks?... Ok I'll let myself out now.

WD40 can't get to the solenoid as it's a normally closed solenoid so any spray will just sit up against the wastegate actuator diaphragm and when the solenoid opens it just vents to atmosphere.
