Eezdown Member 14 Member For: 12y 11m 4d Gender: Male Location: VIC Posted 21/12/11 06:32 AM Share Posted 21/12/11 06:32 AM Hi Guys I'm new to the Xr6 turbo Scene and I've just purchased an 03 ba xrt and I was driving home last night when I lost around 4psi of boost (Boost Gauge Reading) and a sound that's probably best described as a whooshing..... the car's got a warranty on it so I dont wanna start playing around with the piping on it.... Does anyone have any idea as to what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be recommended to upgrade the piping (as long as the warranty company doesn't have a fit)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the piping issue if I can do it without voiding the warranty does anyone have any recomendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cant seem to find the issue... The turbo is definitely still spooling but I'll need to get it onto a dyno to isolate the problem, can anyone recommend a decent mechanic in the seaford area with a dyno?
