Meno Member 6 Member For: 13y 10m 3d Gender: Male Posted 05/08/11 11:19 AM Share Posted 05/08/11 11:19 AM Hi All Thought I'd say hi as I've just joined up, I have a problem I have a BA xr6 Turbo which I've owned for 2 years it has been an great carand I have had absolutely no trouble with it UNTIL NOW ! I have just blown the Turbo so my question is if I was to take the turbo off is it possible to still drive the car day to day?, would it still drive like a non turbo xr6? the only reason I ask is at the moment I don't have the money to replace the turbobut if I can still drive to work etc etc until I can afford one I will do that.Sorry but I don't know a lot about motors and stuff if you could give me some advice I would really appreciate it !Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76333-blown-my-turbo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meno Member 6 Member For: 13y 10m 3d Gender: Male Posted 06/08/11 05:16 AM Author Share Posted 06/08/11 05:16 AM Apart from the turbo what is the differance between a normal xr6 motor and a turbo xr6 motor does the turbo motor have higher compression?the only reason I ask is I have blown the turbo in my BA and at the moment I can't afford to fix it but I was wondering if it possible to takethe turbo off and will it drive like a normal xr6 motor? If you could give me some info on this it would be really appreciated.Thanks.

Prob run like crap due to the turbo motor having lower compression and might also throw codes and go limp mode.. That's just my opinion though but sure Mick would know better Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76333-blown-my-turbo/#findComment-1130560 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be patient my car has been off the road since April last year, pull the turbo out yourself save alot in labour.
