I previously posted about my 2015 not developing typical ecoboost power. It was running great, as usual, until I replaced the water pump. It hasn't developed the power it is supposed to have since. A couple of responses were turbo related. I used an OBD2 scanner to check it. Of course, it is throwing the PO 299 code.
Today, I rechecked all the air tubing and found I hadn't successfully seated the connector tube to the intercooler. I reseated it and went for a test run. As soon as I pulled onto the street, I drilled it. Bingo! As soon as I hit it, it screamed like its old self. For about two seconds. Then, POW! Literally. It sounded like something popped big time and went right back to its no power situation. I assumed the tube blew off, again. However, it was still firmly attached.
I am at a loss. Any ideas what the popping was, or other ideas for the lack of power? Oh, it's still throwing PO 299.
