when runnig un plug your map senser and c if the engine note changes,does it smoke at all or anything,also what breather are you running as the fiesta runs with the little one way valve in is the valve the right way round

another point is how are you measuring the engine revs?

s1 or 3i rev counter will only read half iirc as ofac/ofab's wasted spark

when i dis-connect my map senser the engine note changes and it sounds like its trying to cut out,have you checked the one way valve on the breather too,also can you hear your turbo winding up at all as your exhaust might be slight blocked

Have you definitely got the correct OFAC map sensor? They're listed on Ebay all the time with an XR2i sensor which won't register any boost.

The XR2i ones are rectangular. A proper OFAC one is sloped on the right hand side.

Will it not rev past 3000RPM when it's out of gear? Or is it only when you are driving it?

What happens when it won't go past 3000?
