Checked the hoses and they are fine Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can fit an aftermarket unit with the same spring pressure but as most are adjustable you'll run into issues setting the preload pressure. New stock unit or good 2nd hand stock unit,but i dont think ford will sell you a stock unit without the turbo attached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rang ford today and asked for an actuator got quoted 52 but he called it a turbo solenoid so I'm thinking he has no idea and quote me for the boost solenoid as opposed to the actuator Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stee3 Member 194 Member For: 13y 5m 15d Posted 09/01/13 09:53 AM Share Posted 09/01/13 09:53 AM Car has over posting issued and what sounds like a significant air leak from that side of the engine bay. Pretty much everything else has been checked Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2If the diaphram was leaking I dont hink you would be able to hear it. I have replaced a few with stuffed diaphrams and none of them have made a sound. If the car is stock and it hasn been tuned when it overboosted it will first go into limp mode and then throw a DTC code(engine light) Thecar is not overboosting. One of your intercooler hoses has split where the clamp is. Hard to see most of the time and people think just tightning the hose clamps will fix it. Ive seen this before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check the intercooler hoses over the weekend and see if I can find a split....although I don't see how this would make it boost more than it should. Will check hoses and repot back though Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Start with a new gauge ...two gauges same result...and once it gets to 8psi it hits boost cut. Like I have been saying definitely over boosting. May try get a video of it today Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
