ORANGEXR6T Member 16 Member For: 13y 1m 1d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 28/07/13 08:38 AM Share Posted 28/07/13 08:38 AM Hi guysI got a problem with my BA XR6T auto 2004.It only just started happening but while I plant my foot and when it gets to full boost I feels as though my car is holding back running sluggish.I have changed my sparks plugs like 6 months ago and I didnt think to change the coil packs as it runs fine off boost, today I cleaned my boost solenoid.but the problem seems to still be there.Need help.

If so how is it to change, like job breakdown?
