Replaced Turbo w/ Reman. Factory Turbo - Now 5 lbs. less Boost????????
The last Ford dlr. replaced my turbo at 63K w/ a remanufactured Ford turbo b/c they said my turbo was shot.
Out of warranty of course.
B/f the turbo change I would get 24 lbs. of boost at WOT since I bought the truck new.
Now, the max boost I can get at WOT is 19.5 lbs.
What gives? Did Ford tune down the turbos?
The X is 100% stock.
