Sedan fuel tank is shaped like this So.....

Woohoo Maybe sometime in the next 18 months lol

I know that my FG has had a stalling issue since early on in its life as a Ford dealership has had a go in trying to rectify it when it was stock. The car was modified and the stalling issue still remained. Basically sometimes when you would come to a stop, it would hunt and sometimes stall. When cold it was fine but after about 5 to 10 min of driving, on cold mornings is would have a regular stall and after that random hunts and stalls. Well a few weeks ago I added another earth from the battery to the body of the car. It stopped stalling but still would drop idle a little. Over the weekend I added two more earths. One to the manifold and another from auto trans to body. Seems to have kept the idle pretty solid. So it has definately helped stop the stalling but the revs do sometimes drop a teeny but recover very quickly. I have read others having a similar issue to mine so I am just posting this as adding earths is a very simple thing to do to see if it helps. I still think Fords factory tune is a bit phucked when it does not take into consideration a little bit of a poor earth. Two white earth leads. One to the ECU earth. Had to remove that security bolt which was a -itch. Did it with vice grips from under the fender. This is from the trans to the body I have no clue where the good earth is failing but this helps.

To change must be less than half on gauge. 1/4 is better.

Accommodation booked for Tumut and Jindy! I had hoped to do Omeo too but having an overseas holiday I booked before I changed jobs, I will already be in massive negative leave territory. Will aim to at least do the morning of Sunday before heading home. If I get flogged at work before then I'll try and take a sneaky day in lieu on the Monday!

so that it transfers the electricity to the pump without the other source (ignition) that allows the relay to transfer the electricity to the pump in normal circumstances.

Of course it can. Factory boost control sh*ts all over anything aftermarket in so many ways it isn't funny. I have no idea why people continue to spend money to go backwards, well actually I do but it doesn't stop it being frustrating. Factory has a 2D table of duty cycle vs rpm vs intake temp. Boost by gear. Underboost threshold eg 100% duty before you've reached your commanded boost pressure which means it will spool faster. Overboost threshold to protect against overboost. Proper PID closed loop boost control which means you can hit the same boost pressure in 0c or 45c ambient no problem. The factory PCM even models how the heat soak causes the actuator rod to expand and change the preload, it then accounts for this. Eboost is a dinosaur compared to it. Well in fairness running an inlet bypass to control boost it does produce a good result with almost zero effort if its a race car.

Because apparently the best tuner in the west only knows how to set 100% WG duty cycle and cant tune closed loop. Using exhaust restrictions and fuel system limits doesnt constitute boost control.

Found this super helpful so thought I should add my experience. bought an 08 FG xr6 turbo and it was running perfectly fine until I bought a new battery for it. Immediately it began hunting once warm, getting down around 250rpm and then recovering. Sometimes stalling. literally every stop sign It would stall if I didn’t put it in neutral quick enough. swapped the old battery back in and the issue remained. no fault codes coming up. found this thread and added the extra earth cables one at a time. It was the earth strap from the intake manifold to the chassis (air box bolt) that made all the difference. immediatly, the engine wasn’t stalling anymore. The hunting however had reduced to almost non existent. I then cleaned the throttle body with a good throttle body cleaner and put in new plugs and its completely fixed. hope this helps someone like it helped me!

must be added that the time was run on race fuel, not sure what it would run on PULP. Impressive though whichever way you look at it! Lets not forget that Chris from Bluepower's Boss also ran a 10.05@136 unopened stock motor. So do I think Fords are quick? Yep!

Hmmm I should post some of the links to when you boys post yours cars on the LS forums.
