Mrpunk Member 37 Member For: 6y 9m 25d Posted 10/09/17 10:48 AM Share Posted 10/09/17 10:48 AM Hey all need advice please. I have a 2012 xr6t Just had my car tuned after 2nd lot of mods, 1st mods= dump, cat and tune which produced 270 rwkw. 2nd lot of mods= battery relo, cooler n pipes, 400 pump, 1000ccs, w/gate n flapper mod + 12 psi actuator, twin 2.5 catbak, braided oil line, after tune still only 270 rwkw!!!! My tuner told me that the impeller isnt big enough and cant produce enough boost/power. I want to know why or how with all these mods is my car not producing any more power??? Im absolutely baffled to be quite honest!! Is my tuner having a lend of me? Has he not tuned correctly?? Any expert advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try a new tuner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engines are engines - turbos are turbos Sounds low, but I'd ask the tuner more before we bad mouth him. Yours sounds like it should be doing 300+, but there could have been something that just didn't work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly though - post up the dyno sheets - the graphs at the bottom will tell more about how farked or not the tune/tuner is than anything else. If he didn't/won't hand them to you then I'd look for someone to fix the car before you drive it on boost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
