This happened to mine once it was the dodgy solenoid which weirdly was working fine, then I had my turbo rebuilt and I put it back on and then it was dead. But I thought yours was tuned to 13-14 or something. Strange.

I played around with this turbo smart actuator when I had it off and couldn't get it to go any lower. I'll probably go back to my stock actuator mate or maybe an fg one.

At the last tune it was tuned at around 15.5 pounds and stayed solid at that boost level until just now since I did the head gasket. I changed the solenoid about a year ago so it hasn't done much work.

adams355 Member 529 Member For: 8y 23d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 06/04/21 12:34 PM Share Posted 06/04/21 12:34 PM Yea my solenoid was only 12 months old as well. Put it on the dyno was over boosting badly. The turbo smart actuator is better but a pain to set up 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95394-my-long-term-tidy-up/page/58/#findComment-1703908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

violetpop Silver Donating Members 436 Member For: 5y 5m 16d Posted 09/04/21 09:22 AM Author Share Posted 09/04/21 09:22 AM Not much in terms of the boost issue. Driven the car a few times though and all running smooth on spring pressure. Boost and temp in check. The atomic bleeder valve rolled up today so I aim to check things out over the weekend.

violetpop Silver Donating Members 436 Member For: 5y 5m 16d Posted 10/04/21 10:30 PM Author Share Posted 10/04/21 10:30 PM Swapped out the solenoids and still over boosting. Looks like some dyno time is needed and check over the tune. Last night was cool and intake temps were low, even when I by passed the solenoid again it was making 1 or 2 more psi than the other night. Have you guys noticed changes in boost between summer and winter temps?

gaz097 Bronze Donating Members 1,752 Member For: 13y 10m 4d Posted 11/04/21 10:44 AM Share Posted 11/04/21 10:44 AM Any boost control in open loop will see big difference in boost levels due to ambient temperature. I can see up to 3psi change going from 10 to 40 degrees ambient. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95394-my-long-term-tidy-up/page/58/#findComment-1704014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
