a mate of mine at work mentioned to me that he had no boost at all , apparently happened once before but seemed to kick back into working as normal as he was driving

Took me up the road and sure enough no boost AT ALL , i thought it maybe a pipe came off or maybe the wiring to the boost soleniod/valve unit which is situated on his car inner n/s lower wing. All pipe work seems to be still attached, wiring hasnt broke away or anything like that from what i could see (only had few mins)

does anyone have any advice on whats most likely causing this to happen?
hopefully an easy ish fix for him ??

any advice is appreciated


thanks

I'm no expert on evos, it could be a sensor fault. And that causes the ecu to limit boost.

It's easy to check.

Actuator/Wastegate?

i was thinking its the boost/amal valve goosed , i,m only used to cossies , rst to be honest
The actuator did seem in a bad way , old n rusty looking but would it just stop working ?all pipes attached, maybe a split in one would cause it?

When driving its completely underpowered as if the actuator isnt attached at all , could the diaphram cause this sudden completely no boost situ?

yh i do get ya. a vast variety on here not just ford nuts just thought that would be the better place. i agree with the others if the actuator looks old it might just be that. my five was like that boost one min an lack of the next but b4 i changed it i blew the blower

He has paid alot of money for the car and imo its not as good as a old saph , even resembles one if you look underneath . 04 car
