stevet Member 85 Member For: 17y 2m 12d Posted 30/11/08 08:19 PM Share Posted 30/11/08 08:19 PM Yeah I can appreciate you do get used to the power but a few months back I drove another XR6T with 90km which was also stock but it just felt more responsive. Perhaps it was just one of those cars that goes better than the rest?.......

Nazgul Member 62 Member For: 17y 9m 25d Posted 09/12/08 10:17 AM Share Posted 09/12/08 10:17 AM Performed the maintenance on my beast and it worked a treat. Boost comes on so much earlier now. Much smoother power delivery and torque, thanks!Jimmy Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31329-boost-solenoid-maintenance/page/24/#findComment-783519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardcore Member 92 Member For: 17y 2m 7d Gender: Male Posted 14/12/08 09:33 AM Share Posted 14/12/08 09:33 AM I am in the process of doing this to mine however I cannot find one of the pipes to reconnect. I have the Pipe that comes from the bottom of the turbo and then one other. Does anyone know where all 3 hoses come from so I know where to look?Thanks.
