The gauge atm is fluctuating from 20-15 psi. Slowly going lower Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84421-2-turbos-dead-within-250km/page/2/#findComment-1375650 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So turbo gets oil... Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84421-2-turbos-dead-within-250km/page/2/#findComment-1375651 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_4.0 Member 1,096 Member For: 14y 3m 5d Posted 29/03/13 11:47 AM Share Posted 29/03/13 11:47 AM Hook an EGT sensor to your exhaust. That will tell you if your cooking your turbo.
