Just took it for a drive and was missing pretty bad on idle and while running too, on the way home tried to give it some curry and coughing spluttering then started pinging, engine cute out while I was driving I won't be doing that again until its sorted thought I blew it up... Will start with replacing the coils and plugs and go from there,, so what coils are the go if I'm wanting to get more power out of it later on Cheers boys

Didn't realise how cheap they where and how east to install too, think I will go ahead and put a new set in, is there any to stay away from, found these on eBay new bosch for a good price? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GENUINE-BOSCH-FORD-FALCON-BA-BF-FPV-XR6-TURBO-6CL-IGNITION-COILS-FULL-SET-/282361544145?hash=item41be0f3dd1:g:5MkAAOSwLs5XK-w6

I know they have been around a very long time so I cant see why they wouldn't be up to speed with the latest gadgets

Cheers mate I done a drive by chiptorqe this morning I would go to elite but bit far so ill have a crack at chiptorqe

Yeah fair enough, who's recommended on the gold coast, any suggestions?

Yeah ok, what should I expect to pay for a tune?

Nah theres nothing like that in there and as far as the previous owner I don't think he had any idea about the car as he didn't have it long!!

I have no idea whats been done to it mate, it came with a boost gauge apparently never been installed, when I was cleaning it I found a blue rubber hose hanging down from under the glove box and thought maybe it had something to do with a boost gauge or something but fiik !! If it was the coils would it runs fine at lower rpms?

Hi everyone just picked up a 2003 ute couple days ago, got it cheap I love the car but she has a problem, I know its a long shot without anyone looking at it but thought id try my luck to see if anyone has any ideas as to what it may be. So basically the car starts breaking down really bad (spluttering) at approx 3200rpm, possibly at the full boost point, it runs good in usual driving conditions and when it starts to load up it also fine but as soon as it hits that point runs like sh*t. As far as I know it has one of them eBay turbos on it made in taiwan around $1200 mark + turbo smart bov other than that stock I think. Any ideas as to where to start looking or what it may be would be very much appreciated, also what is the best place to take it on the Gold Coast. I know Hi torque put out a lot of good cars but never dealt with them. Thanks in advance fellas
