Got the new rubber seal and paper gasket from Ford for the turbo oil return line as the old one was like this (pic attached) anyone any tips for reinstalling? It seems solid to get the turbo end lined up, like the seal makes it sit way too high for alignment? Is there a kinda ‘pop’ I’ll feel...

So I’ve changed the exhaust manifold gaskets due to the dreaded screech noise, that problem is solved, however, on buttoning everything back up, after a few hours of driving I noticed it had blasted oil all down the back of the block, the top of the turbo under the feed pipe was wet. I thought...

I am having issue with boost on my standard ST. I am finding this scenario now and again, getting more often now: I put my foot down and the car pulls but the boost gauge sticks at 1/4, if I let off the accelerator and then kick it back down boost climbs as normal to between 1/2 and 3/4 (I...

Hi there. So I just did an intercooler upgrade and what I noticed when the stock one was removed, it had some oil on the tubes (mostly passenger side/I have a left hand drive car). There was no oil dripping out of the IC, but I could feel some dried out oil with my finger inside the IC itself...

So this week my turbo went BANG, this is my second Focus MK4 ST after my first car had problems that i have been told only 3 cars in all of europe had (that was a very long process to get sorted) i was one of the first customers to collect their Focus ST, lifted mine on the 18th of july last...

Hey guys! I've been lurking on the forums for a good while and I've really enjoyed the wealth of knowledge and it's finally time for me to make a post of my own haha. Yesterday I was feeling a bit adventurous and decided to block off the vacuum hose to the inlet plenum from the recirc valve to...

Anyone here have dyno graph from ST mk2 with Dreamscience K06 hybrid turbo and Turbo X+ mod? I would like to see how the torque curve looks.

Hello. So i`m having this strange boost pressure problem. The car is a `09 and only modifications are bsr remap and turbosmat recirc. I have the very common problem with 1/4 or 0.3 bar boost pressure to the dial. Sometimes when flooring it at 5th or 6th gear the pressure rises almost to normal...

Afternoon Peeps, The other week i finally got around to changing my old standard boost hoses for the Pro-Hose set including a symposer delete (which was a b*****d of a job!) (DSCi map, Stage 1 I/C & CAIS already fitted for a few months) Since changing the hoses the boosting has developed a...

Looking to change the turbo in my st. Anybody know a good place for a used or refurbed turbo. Rather than paying full price for a brand new one

So recently I've been having an intermittent issue with the ST loosing the turbo dump chatter and only boosting half way. The spool also sounds higher pitched as well. It seems to come and go as it pleases so I'm at a loss really, any ideas anyone? FYI it has a turbosmart compact recirc valve.

Hi all, Hoping that you good people can help out with my latest ST problem please. I have a 2006 ST2, completely standard. I have sudden different/wrong behaviour of my turbo. Up to now, it has only boosted up to a certain point...maybe 3/4 on the dial, which I assumed was normal being...

Right I need help!! My car recently broke down it had, ESP failure, Steering assist, Engine system fault, Acceleration reduced, And the car immobilised itself. When all this happened I bought a ecu kit which was an ecu, cluster, ignition barrel, key lock, bonnet lock and key, this resolved the...

So when I lift off after full boost I get a nice puff of blue smoke out of the exhaust (Only happens in high gears). I also have the P0299 under boost code and there was a small oil slick under my car when I came back to it today (Oil level has gone down over a third over a few hundred miles)...

Hey guys I've got a focus st mk2 apart from removing the symposer when I first bought it I've made no other modifications and it has no map. In the past few weeks it's started boosting well over 3 quarters on the gauge and then cuts out as if it's doing some over boost protection thing. Any way...

Hi guys, I've noticed that when i first turn the car on in the mornings there is a slight squeak. this noise continues when the engine is under load. I assume that it loose manifold bolts are causing this. Could anyone help me out with how to tighten these bolts when all I have to hand is a...

Hi, I've taken the ST out today and it's only getting up to the first boost marker on throttle and then a little flick past the first mark when I let off the pedal (only boosting to halfway to where it normally goes). It's a 57 and standard apart from de-res. I've had a quick look and can't see...

Hi Guys I've blown the seals on my turbo and it's now off the car. I was wondering if any of you have experience with replacing the internals with a Billet Compressor? I don't want to go full hybrid system, but it's not much more to go Billet. Does anyone know the actual benefits of doing...
