Ecoboost boost issue

[[email protected]]

I went to the drag strip today
Ran 10 times only one run made it into 100mph.
I'm losing boost in 3rd and 4th peaks at 20 than drops to like 10 and repeats that through out the gear.
I am running a tune and K&N drop in filter
Best run was 13.7@98 with 15mph tail wind.
Any advice would be appreciated.

what was the boost level on your first run? the ecoboost can go into "limp mode" under stress .. this goes away after cooling is back to normal. the stock intercooler is not adequate for making so many aggresive passes in the dragstrip. also do please check your charge pipe on both the turbo side and the intercooler side.. tighten down those clamps as this is a known issue from the factory.

The 10 runs were over five hours. It was acting up from the first run.
I will check those pipes and hopefully that's the fix.

Video up now.

you are maxing out at around 17-18 from what i can see on the video, your gauge might need some calibration? 17-18 is very normal. also 13.7 1/4 time is pretty good for stock.

I am running a tune, i can feel the power drop big time than kick in again.
i should be at 105-109 MPH plus i had 15 MPH tail wind.
I tightened all the boost clamps but its still doing it.

have you switched your tune to stock to see how it runs?

Yes, it was smooth at about 16psi

Our tuner is actually looking into your files as we speak. But he has actually put you to the front of the line to get to the bottom of what is going on...

How is your 0-60? Is it effected by the issue?
