repeat turbo failures
ssm-19245 If you have repeat turbocharger and/or vgt solenoid issues,for 2003 and early 2004 my vehicles after performing fsa 06e17 ensure you have performed the following: 1) vehicle has learned correctly per ssm 19141. 2) intake system is not modified. 3) map/baro correlation koeo 4) map hose and fitting are not cracked or plugged 5) smoke test intake & exhaust system 6) map sensor reading by teeing a pressure gauge into the hose 7) perform ka pinpoint test 8) performed kam clear and relearn if any air management parts have been replaced. For 2004 1/4-2006 my vehicles perform ka pinpoint test. If diagnostics lead to replacing turbocharger or vgt solenoid a second time,please contact the ford technical hotline before replacing the turbo or vgt. The hotline will need all diagnostic test results and dtcs. Effective Date :06/23/2006

under #6) teeing into the map sensor hose is part of the diagnostics? Or part of the no-no's, like modified intake system? I had a turbo replacement less than 1000 miles ago when my truck was apart for headgaskets. The issue with the turbo was lack of power (serious turbo lag) off idle when warm or hot, excessive smoke off idle, then normal operation once turbo started building boost. Now I am having the same problem recurring again. Stock intake system, but I have teed into the map sensor hose for a boost gauge.
