Engine 850: B5234T/2.3/20v/T5: - Turbo boost

Hi All

I seem to be losing a bit of power on pull away on my 854 T5 auto it seems fine in normal driving with the usual power you expect. I have noticed the needle on the boost gauge only goes into the white area of the gauge by about 3mm is this about right? I hav'nt paid any attention to the gauge in the past so jt may be correct. I have got a few fault codes to be deleated one of which was the turbo pipe came of which apart from a rapid drop in power it brought on the Lambda lamp the problem was quickly repaired but I have not removed the fault codes this is going to be done in the next couple of days could this be part of the problem. I would appreciate any comments as I say apart fron the loss of power on the pull away the car runs perfect.

Cheers Ken

you say you are going to clear the fault codes, what are the fault codes?

there maybe something else there that needs looking at

The other fault code was on the gearbox it was not changing into 4th gear this was quite a major repair and has been fixed.
cheers.
