The SSSL look lower than usual to me. From cars I've seen anyway

Hey guys, just lowered my fg Mk2 f6 on SSL front SSSL rear. Its a little lower than what I'd like but still looks cool all the same. I may swap the rears over for SSL in the coming weeks.

Apparently all is fine. Had it checked out and the shaft play is minimal and acceptable to the workshop manual.

A common issue is the waste gate solenoid or boost solenoid getting sticky. The remedy is to clean it with wd40 or something similar to free it up again. Or replace it ($45 odd from ford) that's ofcourse if your issue is that simple.

Whats the difference between the two housings you stated? I didnt notice any in/out play but could be. Ive had a few people 'in the know' more than me say its a common thing.. ill get it booked into ford

It's had 3 oil changes in its short life. I'd be surprised if the filter is blocked

I did an oil change the other day. The car has just over 20,000kms now. So this afternoon I lifted the bonnet to check the oil level and I could hear the turbo still winding down (just turned the car off) but I could hear it a little louder than normal, all though it's not loud enough to hear with the bonnet closed. I popped the front pipe off to have a look and noticed slight but Definate scoring on the housing. There's no damage to the blades and shaft play is minimal (I'm no mechanic so how minimal im not sure what's acceptable) I've attached some pics below. Question is now what's the next step? Is it signs its on its way out? I don't hoon this car it's treated with respect and only give it a stab once it's warmed up etc etc. It's an fg mk2 f6. car is still under warranty

Hows the new found power going mate? Sorted that traction issue yet? Im doing the same mods soon to my mk2 f6 cant wait

She handle good now with the bilsteins.

That looks awesome^^ but looks lower than ssl. Could be the shadows. It's strange how king springs always look different from car to car

Bump. OP How did you go with this? Currently having the same issue. Cheerz

Would anyone have any idea as to why my ff f6, used to flutter when shutting off the throttle (stock) and now randomly it makes the tshhh sound. The flutter just stopped over night. I bought tHis car brand new and thought it was odd it had a nice deep flutter in standard form. Now has 15k on it with the flutter gone? Also note, everything functions as normal. Boosting as it should etc

Bayford coburg melbourne have f6 short motors for $2600. FYI
