Hi All final update P.I.T.S dont have software to do dyno on fords so went to chip torque the guys there were nice. Hooked car up it pushed 57kw and tried to tell me turbo had sh*t itself $3700 to fix when I said no and went to pick up they mentioned there could be an exhaust blockage. Bought it home disconnected exhaust and went for a run problem gone. Had a high flow cat installed car goes great. The guys at gold coast custom exhaust are awesome and would recommend them to everyone and the young bloke Steve is right into turbo fords. I wouldn't recommend chip torque unless you have an endless bank account, they actually told me they couldnt test back pressure in exhaust on the dyno because of the gas system (any dyno guys is this true) but charged me $255 to tell me it needs a turbo . I will try to upload some pics of the cat, this issue finally resolved.

Update took car to hi torque in arundel they said the actuator arm was hitting the heat shield and had no time to fix it. I bought it home removed hose from boost valve and hooked it up directly to a foot pump, actuator arm moved freely hi torque talking sh*t. Alas still have the bloody problem. will know book it into P.I.T at molendinar once I change the springs to 7psi as I fitted a 14psi oops.

4321 awesome advice I will do just that and update thanks heaps

ok just removed turbo and reset the preload on the wastegate actuator better but still feels like theres no turbo, can anyone refer a good dyno tuner on the gold coast I need to get sorted asap as it is a work car, any help would be awesome. Hi wilko I removed the hose from the electronic boost gauge and held my finger over it then I spat on the end while running and there was nothing

weird yep the boost nipple on the front of the compressor, yes can blow and suck with no resistance there is a very slight sign of oil in the entrance to compressor but nothing to be concerning

Hey Wilko thanks for input the hose from the compressor doesn't seem to build pressure to open the actuator it is hooked up exactly as you said, but pulled hose from compressor to see if there was any pressure nothing

Hey just getting into the turbo game, just bought a xr6t tonner but was very sluggish.tested waste gate actuator and could blow through it. Replaced with a new turbo smart 7/14 psi but it wont open the flapper. My main question is the pressure hose from the front of the turbo when running has no pressure or vacuum should it have something? I put hose on and could blow air and inhale with ease, should this happen??
