Has anyone got any details on any of this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cars have had a spike of up to 9 or 10 PSI, so Ford have a reflash to stop it from doing that. The over boosting doesn’t last long, its just a spike, but will produce more power until the boost is brought back to normal. When the boost doesn't spike, the PSI is correct. They haven't decreased the boost, they just stop it from spiking. So they aren't decreasing the boost that you would be using 99% of the time when driving, they are just stopping the over boost that you could have from time to time. I've had mine reflashed and it feels better than ever. Very very smooth now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanoplata Member 19 Member For: 11y 5m 21d Posted 04/06/13 01:16 PM Share Posted 04/06/13 01:16 PM I have an 04 XR6 turbo ute which I believe is overboosting and under heavy acceleration it feels like it hits an early rev limiter so I pull off the accelerator. I believe this has come about worse after fitting a 3.5" exhaust turbo-back. Would a tune, injectors and actuator fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want your motor to last then I suggest either not hitting boost at all or see a tuner. Mine over boosted from 8 to 14 psi just swapping the rear muffler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
