Just recheck your work that you haven't got any vaccuum leaks/check all hoses in the area you were workn. I've seen a few people on here have had similar issues. See how ya go, if not I'm sure some others will post soon. trevs said: I modded my blow off value today removing the return air hose plugging the hole and putting a filter on the blow value and also sprayed some wd40 into the boost solenoid as has been done by many ppl on here only problem now my car feels like its missing at high revs and loses power any ideas why and to fix it and has anybody else had this problem doing either of these things Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/35619-some-help-please/#findComment-541647 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check very carefully as the problem you have explained could become a major one very quickly... If you have hooked the boost solenoid the wrong way round you may blow the motor.....Check all your hoses..!!!!
