TheTopGun New Member 22 Member For: 10y 6m Posted 05/03/15 06:02 AM Share Posted 05/03/15 06:02 AM Hey, I was just reading through the receipts and logbooks from the previous owner of my bf mk2. It has 156000 k's atm, but at 126000 k's an inspection was done by the ford dealership one thing of note on the report was - "Possible overboost logged, checked wastgate seems OK, needs further inspection".It's stock and certainly drives like it's not overboosting, hits peak boost very quick, so I'm assuming its fine and has since been fixed. But just for reassurance if the car did overboost an engine warning light would display correct ?

TheTopGun New Member 22 Member For: 10y 6m Posted 05/03/15 06:18 AM Author Share Posted 05/03/15 06:18 AM I don't know for sure as I have no boost gauge or SCT etc. But I'm pretty confident it's not overboosting. If an engine light comes on when it overboosts then I can be 100% sure as currently there is no engine warning lights.
