Ammf6 New Member 22 Member For: 3y 1m Posted 28/02/21 08:01 AM Share Posted 28/02/21 08:01 AM I’ve just installed a new turbo on my 2006 bf xr6 turbo , Same stock turbo no mods , my old turbo bearings sh*t itself . Installed the new app turbo , the car runs fine now , however after about 10 minutes of driving the car will start to idle real rough almost like it’s going to run out of fuel.. if I let it sit and rest for a bit it’s fine but then will do the same process . Would this be a coil / spark plug issue ? I’ve changed the oil , oil filter fuel filter . Next will be the coils and plugs . Anyone had this issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ammf6 New Member 22 Member For: 3y 1m Posted 28/02/21 09:15 AM Author Share Posted 28/02/21 09:15 AM Is there a way of checking the cooling system ?? The turbo oil return line to sump was blocked , small pin hole which Was what caused the turbo to fail I’m guessing . The previous owner may have not looked after her / regular oil changes ect I’m guessing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check that you haven't disturbed a sensor near where you were working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
