Can hear it still when just cruising up to the speed!Ford informed me there where no noises...So last night a bit the lip and went in my mates XR6T and no noises from his!So we grabbed the GTECH from my mates a QRT Miled my car..15.20 seconds!!! I was as you imagined angry.. We came back in the driveway and popped the bonnet and the manifold's were glowing BRIGHT RED! *Seen at night*Now I've been told that most turbo cars do this but should of mine been doing this?Basically im asking, what possible causes could extra second be coming from.This noise, defiantly manifold?And loss of boost, where from?
