Barra 240T:

BARRA 182 provided the perfect base upon which Ford could build the ultimate forced-induction six-pack and provide XR with turbocharged power for the first time.

Known as the Barra 240T, the turbocharged and intercooled six employs a Garrett GT40(!) water-cooled ball-bearing turbo with a maximum of 6psi or 0.4bar boost, air-to-air intercooler, 8.7:1 compression, Inconel exhaust valves, a stainless steel exhaust manifold, dished piston, higher fuel pressure and different Dual VCT calibration.

and this:

" Ford has also paid attention to anti-tampering devices to prevent modification of the turbo "

:-)))))))))

Geez I love the "maximum boost of 6psi" HAHAHA that lasted long...

See what regualtions do, the make people say crazy stuff to get it through the system...

Could you imagine they put, Garret GT40 Turbo capable of 14psi and the Barra 240T having the potential to hit 350fwkws with 4 grand spent on it... haow that would fly with the killjoys?

Anti-tampering devices.... that worked well!

Took a fair while to crack the codes, for the first year or two 260kw was big numbers. Now its hohum.

Anti-tampering devices.... that worked well!

They must be talking about the sensors...

Thanks to Flasher everything became history, nothing but a story book...
