Hey Guys,

Just looking for some advice on my 2003 BA Xr6t.

The history of the car.

I had purchased it off a fella with 250k kms the car had been sitting around for a while and had minimal fuel inside the tank. I took the car home and gave it a full service plugs, coil packs, fuel filter, oil filter, motor oil, gearbox oil. The cars running quality was poor when I purchased it and I was told by my local mechanic to change the coil packs and plugs as they can cause issues.

Have fitted a boost guage and it was reading 17psi so I replaced the boost controller and it brought it back to the 7psi that it should be at.

not long after doing so the motor blew up. The motor was replaced with a second hand motor from a wrecker with 150k on the clock.

With the new motor the same issues are still present.

I have a rough idle and a fair bit of exhaust soot on the tips of the exhaust. I had removed the spark plugs today and found that they were completely fowled out. The car also appears to be leaning out on boost.

I feel that the car need a ECU flash or a fuel pump if not both.

Any help on the topic would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Guys

7 psi is not stock and the overboost protection may be cutting in, if it's stock, if it's tuned you need to find out what it was tuned to and whether it is the same configuration
