Take it to your tuner. If you don't have a tuner, find one that is well respected for solving these sorts of problems and take it there.

When my BA was misbehaving on boost last year it turned out to be coil packs. The basic things I would check if it was my car (without knowing the specifics of your car/symptoms) would be: Coils Plugs Earthing/battery terminals Fuel filter Manifold bolts Clean boost solenoid That's a pretty generic list, but good things to eliminate first. At that point I'd be past my knowledge and would be looking at taking it somewhere or getting more suggestions here. ☺️ 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64591-erratic-power-whilst-on-boost-please-help/page/2/#findComment-1591557 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he made the same vague "I have a similar issue" both in this thread and another -> http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89416-boost-issue-please-help/?do=findComment&comment=1591435, with no response since to asking what the actual problem is... ?

Isaacxr6t New Member 20 Member For: 9y 8m 6d Posted 30/07/16 08:35 PM Share Posted 30/07/16 08:35 PM Thanks for your response guys. The issue ended up being with the module of the ECU that controls the boost. I replaced the solenoid and the issue was still present. The tuner also pressure tested the turbo and all was fine. I installed an electronic boost controller and it feels perfect now. Plus I have added adjustment. I would definitely recommend a boost controller even to those who don't have an issue with their boost!
