No boost and wont rev past 3K rpm? Limp Mode?
Do Fiesta RSTs have a limp mode because mine will not rev past 3k rpm? Also There is no pipe coming from the actuator so I'm baffled as to why it isn't over boosting let alone no boost at all. There was quite a bit of preload in the actuator rod when I checked and the turbo bearings are fine? Checked pipework for leaks and there was no damage that I could see. Help me solve this mystery please!

No mine didnt misfire it just wouldn't rev through past 3k. In neutral it's fine. Took inlet manifold off and there was no gasket so this probably didn't help!! I'm taking the engine out next week to skim the pistons so I will go over everything with a fine tooth comb. Probably just a sensor, but very annoying. I will let you know how I get on when it's up and running again.

I havn't checked the timing yet, but I suspect it's miles out. It's a zvh and has no vernier so I'm going to sort that when funds allow. Mine idles really high ie 1.7k and the brakes have no servo assistance so i'm thinking it may be down to vacuum/boost leakage where the inlet gasket was missing. I'm hoping it's all related. It's in my mates workshop atm so I will hopefully get time to work on it next week. Can you let me know how you get on with yours?

I bought the car a month ago not running properly, got it very cheap. It's a 2.1 zvh. Below is a link to the add on pistonheads. I've got to modify the turbo oil return and oil breather connections on the block as previous owner drilled the holes to small and kept blowing turbos. Loads of potential tho. Running standard rs turbo management, new T3 turbo etc etc Previous RR printout of nearly 220bhp and 270 lb/ft.
