ON my merkur I am having a problem with boost, it will go to 13psi then slowly fall back, i've by passed the boost solenoid and am running a g-valve that worked before. Any thoughts??

Sounds like the wastegate. Those go bad all the time on those pesky fords.

+1 to the gate.

That is what it was on my Merkur I owned many years ago. They go bad all the time and are easily replaceable. You can get a new one from Rapido or BAT inc.
