I wanted to run it in so the computer could suss it out propperly so I took her for a cruise down the coast tonight. she drives good like normal and 1st n second are all shweet (full boost pulls hard and spools up real narce! but 3rd n 4th, as soon as it hits full boost she misses and gets abit spitty, a mate of mine said he had to regap his sparkplugss to get his to run right with the tune and I was thinking I will probobly have to do that to fix the problem or els I was thinking it might have something to do with my cat back exhaust or the 3inch dosepipe I have coming off the front of the turbo? could it be sucking in just abit much air for her as such speed?I know its all basic sh*t and its been asked b4 and deep down I know I should just got get it tuned propperly, but all in good time...any help appreciated???cheers.

You'll be able to tell straight away if it's worn.But as dagabond said, the custom tune will make all the difference.

bluute Cant wait to drive it Donating Members 884 Member For: 16y 9m 21d Gender: Male Location: Golden Bay,WA Posted 14/12/08 01:26 AM Share Posted 14/12/08 01:26 AM you will have to re-gap your plugs mate around .7mm should do yabut as dags said start saving and get the custom tune mate generics are dodgy at best and could end up costing you money in the long runin the mean time a trip to your local dyno for a run should cost you less than $100 and you can check a few things like plugs,afr's etc Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/52494-flash-box-question/#findComment-786122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
