Member 753 Member For: 16y 2m 2d Gender: Male Posted 17/06/09 01:27 AM Share Posted 17/06/09 01:27 AM Id say take the earlier advice and get the thing onto a dyno where they can measure all players. At least you will know where to focus your fault finding. I'd say its still a sensor by all the things you have replaced. Make sure you let us know what it was when you fix it.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/58042-help-problem-with-xr6t/page/4/#findComment-892228 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up getting them to tune the car and play with the idle and get it to not shake around , its not fixed but its 70% better. I was waiting for my warrenty to run out befor mods but stuff it ford could even help me so now im going nuts on mods lol Edited 17/06/09 01:51 AM by 6L_ETA Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/58042-help-problem-with-xr6t/page/4/#findComment-892236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So their you have it. Ford sell turbos for $5000.00 and the blastered car wasnt even moded. It was a stock standard peace of sh*t too. Not Happy one bit. . Thanks guys for all the suggestions you gave. I really appreciate it. Wish it could have been on a mor happier note.

Shermanator Member 21 Member For: 15y 11m 1d Posted 21/06/09 03:51 AM Author Share Posted 21/06/09 03:51 AM I spoke to the mechanic and he said that he aint going ti buy jak sh*t from ford. Apprently he will look into options etc to either recondition the one I already have, or buying aftermarket. Whatever the case at least we found out what it was.

You said it comes onto boost and than looses power and starts idling like sh*t? How the hell does that point to a turbo?I would get someone else to check it out before spending a grand or two on another turbo.And as already said, It took him 3 weeks to figure out it's a turbo???? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/58042-help-problem-with-xr6t/page/4/#findComment-894479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
