I'm going mad with my ford focus ecoboost 1.6 150HP. Since 4 years It emits blue smoke when it is started cold. it always whistled slightly at load (boost from turbo) timing belt was changed last year. since yesterday its howling very loud after a throttle above 15% and has NO boost only vacuum from minus to max zero. its very difficult to find some good mechanics to get a proper diagnose here :(
If you just want to go the cheap and reliable way to make power. Bigger intercooler, better air filter not air box air box the factory is very good, upgraded fuel system and tune. That should wake it up a bit. And high flow spd downpipes if you want.
@@BoostKingMatt yes he's a 2.7 and it spools and blows off in park stock. Thought it could be leaking past the waste gate slightly. No drivability problems so I won't worry too much.
@@BoostKingMatt It started rattling at around 60k miles, I am at 90k now. They changed in actuators in 2017 from mechanical to electronic.. My thermostat just went the other day lol
Only video on RUclips explaining exactly what I need to know. Thanks!
The best guys who show where exactly the problems are. Greetings from Germany.

@hansiman9262 hmm yeah sounds like it might need a proper look through
Excellent explanation on setting the waste-gates.
Good
Thanks bro i am in France and I have the 3.5 ecoboost i Wonder if its gone bé thé samedi set for me ? Thanks

I would like to do this on my bone stock 2.7, but I’m worried the engine will run too lean and throw a rod out the side of the block.
It probably would without proper mods

Do you know if 2nd gen 2.7 is the same? Got the very light throttle rattle going on. Sounds like trailer chains dragging
I'm on full e85 also. Turbo doesn't spool in neutral, my dad's stock '21 does
That rattle is wastegate flapper inside, nothing to worry about though. I have it too, and I have brand new hot side.
@@michaeljacques4059 is his a 2.7? I’ve noticed the 2.7s don’t spool in neutral. Can’t remember if the 3.5 does or not.

@@michaeljacques4059 probably just a slightly different calibration in the stock tunes on the newer trucks.
My turbo actuator rattles on cold start and ford wants me to replace it with a bring new turbo.. any recommendations?
How many miles? My brand new turbos rattle a bit. I wouldn’t worry about it at all.

Mine makes same sound. I'm at 61000 miles
Any updates on a fix?@@Monkeymike68918
Mine just started at 100k
