ok cool thanx heaps yeah il give that a go today cos yeah I have boost but not much down low its more around the 60km/h onwards before it starts showing its true colours

no I didnt I just lined it up and that was it.Starting to think yeah maybe the flapper isnt opening up far enough.Would that be the case?

My car ever sinec changing the wastegate actuator has lost allot of power,mostly down low but on idle in gear (its a auto) has started making ticking noises from around the dump/cat area.cant pin point it but did undo a bolt on the dump pipe/turbo housing accidently then did it back up.Would I get a simple leak from that?

Oh ok I might have a look at that and yeah im gonna get some genuine ones very soon cos I think the coils are ready for the garbo

The only mods to my car that I know of is a blitz supersound bov and that's it, ford were gonna put their coil packs in but I had actually just got some off ebay that day and I think they were Mitron or similar so im starting to lean towards they are flogged after only 15,000 which is dissapointing but they aint genuine coils,I may be buying a set of genuine coils very soon but wanna pin point it before throwing more money around

My 2002 Ba xr6t I bout a year and a half ago with 155 thousand on it and about 20,000 ks after that pretty much as soon as the dealership warranty ran out my car started doin the brrrr under boost and got worse.Took it to ford and they did a diagnostic and said it was coils,changed them and sparkies and electronic boost controller,all good.10,000 ks later its back again and ford wanted another $120 for another diagnostic,yeah bullsh*t so ive delt with it for the last 20,000 ks,frustrating but ive cleaned the boost solenoid numerous times and throttle body and have new ngk sparkies and since hitting the 200,km point my car is now getting the rough idle.started off worse as the car got warmer but now itl do it all the time,on cold start shel misfire for about 2mins till it warms up cos ul here the exhaust caughing if u stand at the back.and if u give it a lil rev to 2000 rpm and take your foot off itl drop to 1500 and sit there for 5 seconds then drop to a 1000 and then slowly down to 700 so its missing hardcore and I dont know wat else to look for.

Ok thanx heaps yeah I was a bit worried when I spun it I thought id ruin it.that's good to know

Thanx heaps mate yeah I will prob just remove the dump pipe and your new one looks very tidy

Is it very hard to take the dump pipe out? I can see u take five bolts off and replace the gasket and maybe two bolts on the exhuast end

oh and a silly question.could u do any damage to a new actuator by manually pulling the arm,not very much and turning the arm just to line it up with the flapper arm it just made a bit of a dry rubbing noise

Absolute sh*t of a job to do if u dont take dump pipe off,I havnt tested my actuator on a bench but I prob should take it out and do so cos I currently have no boost anyway cos I cant get c clip back on but next attempt is taking the dump pipe off

Hey.thanx for the advice guys me and a mate spent all arvo trying to get at it and we lost a few c clips in the process and managed to get a hair clip in it lol for a few klms before she popped off.got a gasket kit on its way so il pull that dump pipe out then should be a peice of cake.
