Hey guys been having troubles with my car, took my car to the mechanics today to fix a boost leak/ get spark plugs gapped because the car was only hitting 17-19psi and when driving it car would shake/stutter when driving/accelerating then would clear up after ignoring it for a second or two. I...

so I recently got my car serviced and the tow truck screwed up some stuff ( they paid for it ) and noticed that car doesn't drive the same, as in low power. Looked around and found that the pipe doesn't connect to the manifold ( the front of the car ) and was wondering if this could be the...

Hello, I've been having some serious boost issues with my 2014 Focus ST Stage 3 Full Bolt-on. This began a few months ago when I started to notice a slight lack of power. Between then and now my boost has slowly gone all the way down to 2psi! I can barely pass cars on the highway at this point...

I have a 14’ ST that is currently getting mapped to stage 3, running acceletec catted dp. Upgraded intercooler aswell as some other stuff but those are the big ones. I was on my 3rd map when my tuner said that my car has developed a boost leak. I smoked out the air side just to see if I’m losing...

Hello all, Just bought a 2014 focus st with a brand new turbo in April, driven it about 3k. Been occasionally getting a few check engine lights. On and off for an upstream o2 sensor (p2626 and p219a) which I'm going to be replacing soon. Just recently got p0234 for overboost and p0299 for...

Hey guys. So I have a 2014 focus st, I was peaking boost at 23lbs and holding at 20 ish.. I had some exhaust work done and the guy took off these two pieces underneath that were actually part of my frame and I went to drive and kept hearing clunking and thunking… I took it back and he put them...

Hey friends! I’m currently in Decatur, just outside of Atlanta, and I need to find a solid performance shop to have a boost leak checked out. I’m here for work and I don’t have the time to get in the bay myself… if anyone knows of a place that can inspect my Pepper and has a comfortable vibe, I...

Recently joined so not sure exactly where to post this. I recently upgraded my turbo from a GT3071 to a GTX3076 along with a transmission upgraded (synchros/lsd). Since that time I’ve been hearing this sound which I can’t identify. From a start you hear it but it’s faint when my car is at...

So I want to start this out by saying this is my first post and I'm very much a new and learning mechanic, so bare with me. With that being said, here's the deal. My car was running great one day, so I started doing a pull. Mid-pull the car jolted forward and had a large power loss. It felt as...

Hello everyone I have been without my 2013 FOST for over 2 months. I want to start by saying thanks for the read I know it’s long and if I was rich I would just pay the big money to find the issue. I started my car up one day, and got a ton of codes. That same day my car over heated and the fan...

I am almost positive I have a boost leak, or at least something is wrong with my turbo. Stock on a WOT pull onto the highway, my car only pulled about 15.2 psi, while my buddies ST pulls about 24. I'm also losing a lot of torque (obviously if I'm not pulling the right amount of boost). But any...
