Hey guys,

I had a chat with someone "in the know" about the new 2008 XR6 Turbo, and have put a post on my blog with the answers to some of the questions I asked.

Some may find it of interest.

It covers:

- High level info on the changes made to the turbo

- Launch control in the 6spd manual

- Edits - and whether Ford can tell and have implemented changes to stop it.

- iPod integration

Why would a "Family Sedan" need launch control?

And they still learnt nothing about the crappy crossover :innocent:

Do you not mean smaller exhaust wheel for faster spool-up?

The blog says smaller compressor wheel.

I thought this part was interesting:

Editing the software to increase boost:

The BF introduced a flag in the ECU which is tripped when any calibration has been over-written. This means that despite efforts to reflash the “standard” tune back to the ECU before servicing the car, Ford can tell that at some stage the ECU was reflashed. This will then void aspects of the warrantee related to the impacts of reflahsing the ECU (ie engine, potentially powertrain etc).

This flag is also present in the G series, so it is important that people editing/flashing the ECU know that they are voiding parts of their warrantee - and that even if Ford dont say anything to you, it is very likely if you ruin a relevant part of the car and try to claim it on warrantee that you will be (rightfully) declined at that stage.

No additional protections to stop flashing the ECU have been introduced - but people should be aware of the possible consequences and lack of warrantee support if something goes wrong.
