Thanks for the replys. As I said, I don't want a race car, but one that's fun, reliable, and doesnt cost me a kidney is good. I really want to get the surge sorted out though. Its annoying me now!

You don't have to relocate battery to boot. Plazmaman do a kit to put battery where air box goes and vice versa so your intake is on turbo side.

Hi everyone, Sorry if I'm doubling up here, delete this post if necessary but just want to know peoples oppinions on tuning for my fg xr6 turbo. It's currently got a CAI and I've replaced the turbo intake muffler with 3" pipe and replaced the bosch bov for a turbosmart dual port BOV. Will it be more beneficial for me to get a proper dyno tune done or get a flash tune controller or what are good options? Its purely a road vehicle and I'm not really after shaving milliseconds off my quarter mile time but do like a bit of a punch when I drop the right foot. Also, and this is probably another topic but when its cold the revs surge around 200 - 400 rpm when you raise the revs a little bit. Idling it is steady but you can notice when you start driving aswell, the car surges a bit till it warms up. I read on here somewhere that a tune can fix this? It's been to ford for this problem but they took my money and gave the car back exactly the same :( Any input would be appreciated!

Got Ford to look over my car, before the car went in they were telling me all about this 'grace' period and how it will most likely be covered...None of it was, they did work without me approving it and gave me a nice bill...another story. Apparently they upgraded the computer on it which was suppost to prevent the surge...it did absolutely nothing, and the temperature sender was stuffed and they wanted $80 to change it...I took about 10 steps over to the parts department and the sender costs $15 so I will be putting it in myself. You think they could put in a $15 sensor to keep the customer happy when its a well known problem with these models! I've never understood why a lot of car yards have such bad service when it comes to warranty work and repairs. It certainly does not make you want to deal with them again!

I have same problem with my FG turbo...stock tune, vented BOV to air, and replace air box with high flow pod filter system. Surged with and without mods when cold but just went down to ford and told it was not normal and they are suppost to run smooth even when cold. Vehicle is about 2-3 months out of warranty but was told there is a 'grace' period where ford may still cover under warranty or at least cover cost of parts as long as service history etc is sweet (28,000kms on car and for serviced up to 40,000km handbook service....should be sweet). Fingers crossed they fix it for free! (will be putting vehicle back to standard before I give car to them Also trying to get them to fix the ambient temperature sender (in the left hand mirror) as it reads about 6 degrees on a 40 degree day. Will re-post after next week when they've 'had a look'.

Starting a new thread for people of the goldfields area. We should get together for some cruises or fundraisers etc. Not much to do in this part of the world so let me know of any people around who are interested!
