Chris and Liza Member 42 Member For: 16y 5m 13d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Posted 08/06/09 08:39 AM Share Posted 08/06/09 08:39 AM Hey all,It seems like I have to put my foot down a fair bit (maybe 50-70%) before my T (07 BFII auto stock) starts to boost. Is this normal - or might I have a blockage somewhere?Chris Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/58366-how-much-boot-for-boost/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
