I would like to give the guys at 4B a big thank you for all their help with my XR6 Turbo

I have had a bit of bad luck with it in the last 3 months or so

it all started when I booked the car in at the local ford dealer for new front struts when I drop the car off to them it had about 1/2 a tank of fuel in it and an average economy of 8l/100 but when I pick it up it was in the red but had only traveled about 10km and had over 30l/100 and on the way home it was running very ruff so I called the dealership back and spoke to them about the issues. Try as we might we couldn't get the fuel economy to come back down (and we had been used to about 5 - 600ks around town and 8-900ks on highway cycle) and then about 2 days later the engine light came on so I drove it to Joel for him to check the codes and guess what an over rev code showed up so I gave ford a ring for another chat and they asked me to pop in and have a chat with the servce manger, in that meeting he told me that the road tester had admitted to doing 114kmh in second gear so to cut a long story short the damage was a new head all the valves new timeing chain and oil pump cost about $4000 was I pissed they gave me the parts a cost and offer to do the laber for free like *beep* my car was going back to them so I got Joel to to all the work on it and the car did not miss a beat, even got it back to it's usual average fuel economy that was till the turbo die but that's part 2.

part 2

Two weekends ago the turbo blow up and yes once againg Joel and Ben to the rescue they ordered me a new bigger turbo which I picked up today and the car is booked in for a new tune next week we are hoping for about 320 to 350 rwkw should be fun to drive then

I can never recomend 4b's enough, they have beed so much help and they are sooo good at what they do. You can't beat them, weather it's your family car or your 4wd these boys can get you sorted.

Joel is just the best tuner

What's wrong with it?? Is it the 'advertising' of the tuner?

#4

So the manager said the tester admitted to doing 114kph in 2nd and you still had to pay? f*ck that,, get compensated

#5

yea the non sponsor plug

#6

Loooooooooool

#7

rev limiters are ther so the motor is protected

I doubt 114 in 2nd would do it unless the max you usually do in 2nd is like 80 and if that's the case there is no need for a bigger turbo

How can it over rev to begin with? None of that really adds up.

they did it on down shift so the limiter don't work also I had customer of my ring on the day that it happen and gave me a spray for almost running him of the road then I told him that I didnt have the car that day and all this happen in a 50km/h zone the 114km/h was all he admitted to

I've seen some of joels cars on the road, and his tunes are very strong. His dyno reads low as fark though.

Just look at steel's VL, 310-320rwkw and runs 9s.
