Makes you wonder when a thread that is stickied at the top of forum board hasn't been touched in 4 years...

Just bought a second hand sniper flash box mega cheap off a mate who sold his turbs, I have no idea what to do with this one, all I know is its very tight security on the software . At the moment its just a usless black box

Ok, so what im leaning towards in regards to mods vs power; we can say if you are not murderous on your car everyday upto 240rwkw should be fine with a well serviced standard btr, this power is typically achievable with a good custom tune and CAI. For an extra safety net, add a transmission cooler(around $200), this should be safe for a little more power... say 250+rwkw e.g full exhaust, CAI, and tune. The above seems like the typical "stage one" tune for the T. For us BA T owners its starts getting a little more expensive to go further safely and getting into the "stage two" tune territory, this would require valve springs, cooler,strengthened box, fuel system, more boost etc.

I also read that all the serious dragstrip boys prefer to run a built 4spd rather than a ZF sixer, because they are quicker.

This is a good thread... Does headsex come onto these forums of late? Someone call him!!

Whoa so when you slot it into performance mode and dont change gears yourself, it changes them for you??? Yeah guys throw any info you think might be of any benifit for other forum users, im very new to the forum so im sure if I ask nicely one of the mods will merge topics if you see them!

The aim of this thread is to compile an information factsheet and experience register on the 4 speed that graces the early XR6Ts.Ill start with a few Qs that hopefully can be easily answered: What are the telltale signs of a tired 4 speed? What transmission oil should I use? What power (on avg.) can this box handle? I dont mean the one that broke standard, or the freak that held up to do 10's. An agreed power figure would be nice. How and why does a transmission cooler extend and increase longivity of 4 speeds in regards to handling extra power? When a rebuild is in order, what modifications and how much should I be looking at on average? If I was to take my car to the dragstrip, should I use tiptronic to improve my time? and is it fine to stall it up at the tree with generally no ill effects? So there is a few, I think I roughly know the answers to most of these but I want to get the ball rolling with this. Cheers, Raz

Your wastegate actuator spring could be stuffed.
