  1. sounds like your trans filter is blocked mate, very cheap and easy fix to replace
  2. thanks guys, this includes n/a bf xr6 as well ye?
  3. the calipers and discs look exactly the same any 1 know wats goin on?? thanks in advance
  4. after all the headaches I finally found the problem after looking at it closely some fcukhead bent the actuator rod so the car wouldnt make boost, why??? I wish knew... anyway so I bent the actuator back in place, now the engine makes 10psi all the time, goes excellent... back for a proper retune... just a question do these actuators come off seperate? or does the turbo have to come with it?? im gona buy a new one to be safe... thanks for all the help guys...cheers rocky
  5. I dont think it would have a 6psi pressure drop at such low boost plus the tuner said there is a serious problem....look like the turbos coming off
  6. the tune is set @10psi and only getting 4psi @ the manifold....even before the flasher I wasnt getting boost till bout 4000rpm......anyways I dropd the cat 2day and that didnt help, my last option is to remove the turbo and get it checked along with the wastgate and actuator.....
  7. thanks mate 4 your ideas, I have already scanned the ecu and it only brought up one code which is "wastgate operation failed" im told by the tuner it is because there is big pressure drop in the system...anyways I did a vacuum test from the turbo and the inlet manifold and @ the turbo it read 10psi @ the inlet it read 4psi, I also did a vacuum test for leaks read fine.... I put the car up on the hoist, and listend for inlet leaks definetly sounded like a leak at the bottom on the inlet so I figured it must be leaking under load... so I removed the inlet manifold to my dissapointed the gasket look as new...today I will try remove the cat if its not that I cant be anything but the tubrocharger :(
  8. car is stock standard 03 xr6t with custom cold air intake, 55,000kms, always been sluggish since ive had it....
  9. hey all, got the capa flasher done 2day and the car dyno tuned as I thought car was a bit sluggish, turned out I was very low on power, the tuner did a few tests and found out after running 10psi thru the turbo only 4psi was coming out other end of the cooler!! so he diagnosed a blocked intercooler... anyways I took the car home and removed the cooler and replaced it with another one from a mate, test drove same fkn thing!! very low on power.... I just dosent make sense I checked all the cooler piping for splits, looseness, blockage... only other things I can think of are actuator?? boost solonoid??? blocked cat converter?? any help would be great, thanks in advance.... rocky
  10. got one 2day from my a mate whos is a ford wrecker $110 bucks, ford quoted me $260 trade price!! only problem the airbag and steering wheel have to come off, oh well will do on the weekend, appently there breaking more and more often.....
  11. I snapped the indicator stalk 2day on the xr6t, put a a bit more pressure then usual and it broke in half!! wondering if the same happpend to anyone or anyone has replaced one, how much it costs and wats involved....cheers rocky
  12. nah I havent really been flogging it heaps, actully it makes about 3psi just b4 changing to 2nd gear and 5psi in every other gear I called up a well known tuner and they said its pretty normal depending on conditons
