(Only time anywhere else was at Ford for the 1,500km 'service' post purchase).The Process West I/C was at a guess about 3,500km ago when I moved from APS Phase II, at around 28,000km when I had my 30,000km service I think, and yes retuned. They also did the turbo wastegate/actuator stuff at the same time & the Walbro in tank pump. Edited 12/06/07 07:52 AM by Power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think fuel starvation could have been an issue?Well, it was found to have some issue with a cracked piece of line around the Walbro after I drove it Sydney>QLD>Sydney shortly after the new setup and the car behaved strangely, but that was fixed I gather.
