Id say the slight increase in gap is just electrode degredation? Wht coils were they? Just grab 6 brand new genuine coils no use using old ones even if they look ok Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79714-ba-mkii-xr6-turbo-vct-problem/page/2/#findComment-1222808 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauge and dyno shows 13.5 PSI dropping off to 12.5 PSI in the higher revs.I'm not over boosting, I have no boost leaks.

It's a walbro in tank pump 225Lph or 250L one of the two.

May need to give it to someone with the proper gauge and go for a drive or get it on te dyno to test it, cant remember what the spec is off the top ok my head Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79714-ba-mkii-xr6-turbo-vct-problem/page/2/#findComment-1223335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
