hi all
im new to the ford scene bought focus st225 but feels slow only boosts to a 1/4 on the gauge and don't think this is normal feels sluggish or is this normal or do I need boost solenoid as was common fault on my Vauxhalls or do I need upgrades cheers

 

Start with a boost solenoid and check for leaks on intercooler/boost hoses

 

If the car is standard, it should only boost to about half way.

 

only let downs with these cars is constant amounts of glitches from either boost or electrical related gremlins seams soon as you fix one another pops up grrrr

 

Never had any issues at all with boost in over 9 years over 2 cars.

 

you sir are lucky and fair play to you

 

When I got mine it had a little flutter/miss at low rpm as you built the boost up slowly. Full throttle it would put hard and boost off the gauge but mine has been re mapped. I gave mine a service and new plugs and boost solenoid and it sorted my issue
