Hi guys nice to meet you all my names peter I have a recently purchased BA xr6 turbo with 150 000km on the clock. It is automatic. Basically I will post videos in the next posts of the problem and the 0-100 acceleration. Basically it sounds to me like when it goes on boost u hear the intake sound the wooshing but it sounds very loud almost like 1/4th of the bov sound like if it where leaking the entire time its on boost. Like it goes woosh woosh woosh woosh while the entire time my foots on the accelerator all the way. The car has I believe an aftermarket exhaust as it is louder. I realy think the boostis leaking because the best 0-100 I can get in the auto is approximatey 7 seconds on a colder night. Please look to the end of the video the video you can hear it rushing off rushing off rushing off. I have changed the oil air filter trans oil and filter and fuel filter. Please help me guys if you could. I was expecting better performance from the car. Maybe its normal but only at the end of the video can u hear my problem with the induction noise the shhhshhhshhhshhhshhh sound its pretty quick. Someone has told me maybe my coil packs are failing and the car is losing power

Videos aren't that easy to hear things in.

0-100 video it doesn't seem like it's very smooth through rev range.

But I don't know, it's a 4sp. I've never driven one.

Maybe start with cleaning out as much of your intake as you can, and check your coils and plugs.

I pulled off the throttle body and top half of plenum chamber thingy and cleaned them. There was a noticeable difference.

Yeah about the same when I got it. If anything I can hear the boost come on much louder like if it where leaking into thr air or thr bov is leaking it almost sounds like 1/3rd of letting go of the accelerator constantly on boost like a shhhhhhh hissing sounds like thr bov sound almost

No engine problems if I remove the stock bov? Basically the hisss comes from infront of the front passenger side of the engine. So it is somewhere around the airbox. Intake bov area. Such a fookin shame basicly even in the bad state I have this car running im still converted to ford. Such a better car overall now if only I can get her running use to be a big Expensive Daewoo man with a clubspory 383 stroker
