I have lubed the boost solenoid and checked all piping for leaks but am new to turbo cars.. have always been a ford man and a petrol head.. I own a 69 xt falcon with an off tap 347 stroker in it..any advice would be appreciated..cheers,and look forward to chatting moreadam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I feel mine is the same but it could be I'm finally well used to the extra power after 3.5 years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
