Modding Your Fg Xr6 Turbo

[Bellato]

Is it always the first pipe that fails?

First pipe?

You could probably really tighten the lower clamps and leave the one's near the turbo and/or throttle body less tight so if they blow its easy to tighten but not something I would personally do

[lewie]

First pipe as in the first section of pipe which bolts to the turbo outlet. Is this the piece that fails or have you heard of other pieces failing.

never mind the pipes blowing off.

id be more worried about splitting them once you put more boost through them.

Not sure exactly which have tended to blow first. Pazzo might be able to shed some light on which of his blew

This too! Especially the elbow that goes to the throttle body

Ok add pipes and better flowing cat the list I guess. What's the cheapest pipe kit you guys have come across?

[Bellato]

All around the $500 mark. Both herrods and coolerworx are popular.

If you're lucky might be able get one second hand for like $350-$400

Yep the piping leading into turbo went on the way to work.. Drive like a N/A after that

This is a bit unrelated but, does anyone know how hard it is to instal a solenoid so that you can switch the rear brakes off via a switch in the cab for skids. My car is a 2011 FG XR6T can this even be done or will it mess with the ABS/ESC? has anyone done it or heard of it done?

Sooooo... Anyone?? Linelockers anything like that?

[Bellato]

Don't need to disconnect rear brakes to do skids, these car's even standard have plenty of power to get the rear wheels turning

[wobblah]

Yes thankyou I realise this, however I'm intrested in eliminating brake wear/ damage & reducing driveline stress... So??
