depending on the model some came with those its supposed to help noise levels

cheers for the info mate

today I just changed over my passenger side engine mount to stop my annoying vibration on idle, it was a fairly simple job took about an hour, bolts were easy enough to get to but I cant find anywhere on the net the procedure to change out the drivers side mount, I really don't want to take my turbo off again just to get to the top bolt if I don't have to. so I was wondering if anyone has changed over the drivers side mount and not taken the turbo off, any pointers or tips would be great. or even just to clarify that it is necessary to take the turbo off would help cheers

if it only has 8k on it at the moment it would be fine I would check/change the coolant though as the ford stuff doesn't stay up to spec for very long

over the last few days I ended up replacing my front upper and lower control bushes and rear control blade bushes with superpro items saving me $600 labor. I was always worried about pressing the bushes in myself thinking a press is needed but after getting talked into it by a mate to have a crack it turned out to be a peace of piss all I needed was a hammer, chisel, 2 jacks, socket set and a small vice. out of all the mods my car has got the best mod to date is those control blade bushes as I can finally do skidys without the rear end banging about and feeling like its gonna fall off the car, also its completely stopped axle tramp couldn't be happier with the new bushes they should be standard on turbos as the stock bushes are so heavily voided its ridiculous.

im guessing its not good on the engine and not to do it?

I have a bf xr6t modded with the works full zorst, intake system valve springs, ported wastegate ect running 13psi. well I finally got around to buying and fitting a boost guage today so when I went out for a test drive today she holds 13 psi perfect through 1st to 4th didnt try 5th. now the problem I was just fukin around had it in 6th gear (manual) put my foot down at 1500 rpm just so I could watch the boost rise well 2400rpm came by and 13 psi came by but it didnt stop not even the slightst bit, with in a second it was over 20psi so I took my foot off thinking wtf tried it again just to see if I was a once off but nope strait back up. anyone want to enlighten me as to y it does it in 6th gear with a ported wastegate

this has happened to me twice in the time I have owned my car had me stumped but after a lot of fuking around it was just th beginning signs of your battery going to sh*t get a new battery and it wont happen for 2 years

I dont know in kgs but most say its around half of the weight of the steel bonnet

maby it just needs a good service? but yes it should feel a fair bit faster if you are concerned maby do a 0-100 sprint and get someone to time it 6 seconds dead is the average with a good gear change

need some help I have gotten as far as taking the 4 bolts out and loosening the 2 that are fouled by the oil return line but it seems my exhaust housing is stuck solid onto the core of the turbo so far I have tried hitting it with a mallat wd40 trying to turn it but it just wont budge. sooo does any1 have any ideas or is it best to just give to my tuner to pull off as I dont know how how easy it is to break the fins if I smash it to hard with the hammer?? sean

hows your coolant looking is it still green or a rusty colour, corosion can sometimes block part of the radiator making it less efficient

clean your throttle body it should clear it up and while your cleaning it take your battery off to reset the computer
