MatthewB New Member 9 Member For: 6y 8m 2d Posted 08/09/18 07:40 AM Share Posted 08/09/18 07:40 AM I have a 2008 fg xr6 turbo at the dyno tuners however have come across an issue they or other dyno tuners havent seen before. The car is going to 17psi on the dyno However any more psi over 17 and the car loses communication and dies on the dyno and launches forward we are trying to achieve 20+ psi, has anybody else come across this issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thankyou Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94248-fg-xr6-turbo-boost-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine looked fine and worked more or less fine but I had the weird dash thing happening where the gauges would drop and the speedo would stop working until I restarted it.

Were you also getting the boost issue not going over a certain psi Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94248-fg-xr6-turbo-boost-problem/#findComment-1663719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
