Hello,I have two problems on my focus st mk3 2016.The car has full boost but lack of power yet I have 24psi and +3 in ignition correction, the car doesn't even spin anymore in 1st and 2nd I see a real drop in power. The engine oil temperature rises higher than before while we have outside temperatures of 16-17°C, I have the impression that the turbo coil seems to force more than before to have the same boost.Another problem and at idle I have -25% in LTFT I did a smoke test and leak test by pressurizing up to 20 psi and I found nothing-The EVAP has been replaced and I have no CEL.-Both oxygen sensors are brand new and OEM

-4 new OEM injectors replaced, I have the impression that the trims at idle have been improved since.

Sounds like you have failed injector(s) or a blocked catalyst or intake filter if it has pulled that muxh fuel on O2 trim.

My 4 injectors are new, how can I check that my catalytic converter is clogged? I disassembled it at the beginning, here is a picture

So I installed a catless downpipe and the car seems to be a little better but I still have -20% STFT at the idle and it still lacks the power I had before

What does Stratified think is wrong with the vehicle mechanically that's causing the large fuel trim?

What has changed.

Not sure on that car but is +3 ign adv normal. We more advance in high boost.

that is alot of fuel being pulled from map. I would look at fuel delivery system and then air intake, esp sensors

Hello, news parts is:

- 4 new injectors OEM

- O2 sensor

- Evap purge valve

This is what stratidied asked to replace

Can you check turbo for shaft play/oil leaks?

Has the engine lost or consumed more oil or water than normal?

I'd be tempted to run it briefly without the intake filter or replace the filter to see if it was causing a restriction.

Is it possible for a soft intake pipe to collapse or split? Or a pipe crushed, holed or leaking?

Have you confirmed there are no foreign objects or significant fluid buildup in the intercooler or pipework?

Can you log intake, coolant, tps, rpm, fuel pressure and boost?

Can you confirm under what operating conditions it is now trimming fuel down significantly, only a idle/low load or in boost as well?

Hello,

The turbo has no play in the axis and does not leak I was able to verify it

The engine consumes no oil or coolant

I have already removed the intake and nothing has changed to the trim or to the engine operation

I can't check if it collapses but they are not punctured in my opinion, I did a leak smoke test + leak boost test and I didn't have any leaks

I haven't checked in the intercooler if there was a restriction I can try to look

I have a log that includes what you're asking

The trims are at -20% at idle, under low load it approaches -17, -15% but the car gives accous and is not stable, during the boost the trims are correct and is close to -5%
