xr6turbs boosting Legacy Donating Member 391 Member For: 20y 3m 3d Gender: Male Location: Glendene, Auckland NZ 0602 Posted 12/04/12 09:48 AM Posted 12/04/12 09:48 AM So I was wondering with the introduction of the new 2L ecoboost engine in the falcon, has anyone thought to tune it like we all do to our large capacity cars?Its the new motor that will be in the focus ST when it comes out right? I reckon it would have some pretty sweet gains. My other idea - retro fit the xt-t into a mk5 cortina!
