blueprintute Member 9 Member For: 17y 6m 6d Posted 05/01/09 01:40 PM Share Posted 05/01/09 01:40 PM Hey guys, I fitted an F6 intercooler on the ute today, relatively straight forward but time consuming, also fitted the gauge wiring loom, Very time consuming, anyway,,Now that ive changed the exhaust (cat back) added the bigger intercooler, CAI & panel filter, should I be going for a tune now or should it be ok?Has anyone done these mild mods and noticed any difference in fuel consuption whether it be an increase or decrease? As tonight when I took it for a little run it seemed to be using more fuel.Any ideas/thoughts....CheersShane Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/53099-f6-intercooler/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think your intercooler will cause any overboosting since you still have the standard restriction of the under battery pipe, and your cat back system wont effect anything. If you had changed your cat, then yes it would need a tune. You are probably using more fuel cuz you are booting it around the streets more testing to see if she has more power.
