hi all, recently bought a 89 spec escort rs turbo. ive just fitted a new turbo unit, it has been runninfg fine for a few weeks. i sarted it the other day and it ran very groggy, as if it was mis firing, that soon cleared but when i started to drive it it wouldnt boost?? its as it the actuator isnt opening?!?! any help would be great

it wont boost at all i first or second but in third cos its a bigger gear it will creep up to about 7psi before i have to change gear.

Hey dude! i am having the same problem with my Focus RS MK1, the turbo bar is only hittin about 0.3 bar even when my foot is flat on the floor, usually it boosts me all the way to 1.0 bar. it done it once before then started working again. but all of a sudden it starts again! ARRRG! does any1 know what could be the problem? cheers guys!

you running amal valve or bleed valve, has anyone messed with actuator? is it set at half moon?

JordanRS1

awryt bud, am not sure if it is an amal valve or bleed valve, am not sure where my actuator is on my car am new to this stuff eh. my turbo kicks in at 3000rpm and i get a massive boost, but for some reason my turbo bar sticks at 0.3 bar and i get no power, what should i check? those valves? and where are they situated mate? should i clean anything or change anything? thanks mate
