fpr000 Member 107 Member For: 16y 1m 12d Posted 03/05/09 12:14 PM Share Posted 03/05/09 12:14 PM hi guys I need some input, I dont seem to be getting much boost , I have taken the solenoid off and clean with wd40, still no change. I recently put and air breather on the end of the BOV could that be the issue? from what I have read throuh other posts, it shouldnt be the issue. Some knowledge would be greatly appreciated. p.s I have checked all piping and clamps no leak.

Sure you havent put the BOV in backwards! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/57336-turbo-no-boost/#findComment-872324 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actuator wasn't connected. Check that. You should be able to see if it's connected by getting underneath, but putting it back on might be easier is you remove the turbo, 2 hour job on a hoist.cheers,Chris.
