Is that just heat or am I losing boost somehow Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89713-power-loss-from-humidity-and-heat/#findComment-1516707 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything looked fine. All clamps tight, unless there is a hole down low if rubbing. I'm assuming boost leaks are just visually checked, or should I put the garden hose in the intake and see if it leaks (joking) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89713-power-loss-from-humidity-and-heat/#findComment-1516777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
