Posted 13/08/10 07:22 PM Share Posted 13/08/10 07:22 PM Having worked for a ford dealer no they dont detune fleet cars.So you had a retune what about boost switch.If all it needed was a retune than why did your tuner say it needed one.If he cant get that right I would be getting it checked else where to make sure it is safe.Ian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/69641-automatic-waste-gate-switch-failure/page/2/#findComment-1032449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
