Any help would be appreciated, thanks.Car is a bf xr6 turbo, auto, with 80 thou kmsIt also does not do this all the time, and yiu have to be harshly accelerating for it to happen, it only started.when I put a bov on it that does not plumb back, I noticed was of the hoses was split going to the fuel railo I replaced that to, doesnt seem to leak nowCheers hopefully I explained it enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(first turbo car, I have no idea what it is, so I guess I better get educated haha), anyways a quick question, would faulty coil packs cause it to overboost? Or a vacuum leak?Or am I better off taking it to fords and getting them to put it on the scan tool, it should pick it up?Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Boost in the Falcons is electronically controlled by the ECU and modifying the turbo/exhaust in almost any way will require a tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exhaust could just be dump and cat if you like, I hear the BF exhausts aren't bad once those are changed out.That's assuming the car runs OK once they sort out the current issue!
