RAPHOON Donating Members 1,776 Member For: 21y 11m 23d Posted 14/12/05 12:17 PM Share Posted 14/12/05 12:17 PM Get the updated CAPA tunes as a minimum, but custom tune is the way to go. Either way, it's got to be better than what you currently have.

Looks like its bouncing off the overboost limiter. Food for thought.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I was sure that Jason said he had the latest Generic Tunes from CAPA when he did mine, could be wrong though!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yes I do Leigh, and have ordered the V3 Software as well.Personally custom tuning would give the best results.

bugster70 Donating Members 1,326 Member For: 20y 1m 16d Location: Canberra Posted 15/12/05 04:41 AM Share Posted 15/12/05 04:41 AM Mark, you should take Martin up on his offer and get the latest CAPA generic tunes, I've heard they're pretty damn good considering they aren't 'custom'. If you're worried about the time it'll take to ship the box and have it returned, etc, and want that extra power in the meantime, all is not necessarily lost.If you're comfortable running the 8psi map, I'm pretty sure you can leave that one in your car and still send the box back to CAPA. When you flash in their latest tunes, they'll just overwrite the older 8psi map you're currently running. Let us know how you go mate, I'm keen to hear the difference it makes!

markxr6t Member 476 Member For: 20y 7m 21d Location: Perth WA Posted 15/12/05 05:21 AM Author Share Posted 15/12/05 05:21 AM Well I just went to see Daniel at Chipmaster who said that they are the latest CAPA tunes, but my wastegate actuator (huh?) is opening too early and hence not allowing boost to reach 8 or 10 psi. So is a custom tune the only solution?If so, I'll get a custom tune in early January.Now back to my original question - is 226 rwkw a bit freakish on the factory tune?Thanks for your commentsMark Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21934-226-rwkw-on-factory-tune/page/2/#findComment-324861 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say virtually unheard of mate! The dyno I had mine done on said that I was getting 215rwkw with a custom tune!!
