w84me Member 7 Member For: 16y 2m 22d Posted 03/05/09 02:57 AM Share Posted 03/05/09 02:57 AM hi all, I have a 2006 xr6t with a boost gauge fitted. last few days I have been loosing boost..I first noticed on monday when I put my foot down and it only went to 3 psi, and I couldnt get it past it. so I kept driving it now it wont go over 1 psi...I took all the pipes off to clean and check them.. took the bov off and checked it.. has this happend to anyone else? should I just take it into ford or....?

w84me Member 7 Member For: 16y 2m 22d Posted 07/05/09 04:52 AM Author Share Posted 07/05/09 04:52 AM its going much slower...it spools up but only goes to 1 psi.. cant feel the boost comming on.. I remember just before this happen it would go to 6psi and start to drop down.. wouldnt hold 6 psi through the revs... maby that has something to do Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/57318-6psi-3psi-1psi-whats-going-on/#findComment-873367 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes with a few bolts it also sounds like a truck though Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/57318-6psi-3psi-1psi-whats-going-on/#findComment-874480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
