mickeyp89 Member 6 Member For: 10y 2m 30d Gender: Male Location: perth Posted 26/01/14 01:57 PM Share Posted 26/01/14 01:57 PM hey guys just bought an xr6 turbo BA which I always wantd 1 so now I got I. I went over it meticulously BUT when I test drove it, I didn't put my foot flat and hold it there. I ended up buying it for $8000 when I got it home I took it to where I take all my cars when I buy them and let loose. Well it surprised the ++++ out of me. Now I do not think this is completely stock I am worried that he has installed a boost controller sumwhere and wound up the boost. on a standard engine I know that cant be good. now I am still new to the xr6t so my question is where do I start looking for a boost controller or is there another way he could of boosted it? or maybe its just stock and I cant handle it but something seems off. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likley if its not stock then it may be flash tuned. I would take it to a dyno and run it up to check boost,AFR and power. A stock BA is usually good for around 185rwkw stock and is a pretty underwhelming drive with that power too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I find it quite believable. Maybe he's just been driving something really slow? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's just been driving something really slow?Exact same thing happen with me, went from driving a 220kw Silvia to a Toyota Rukus, then after 3 years drove the fg and holy sh*t couldn't believe how fast it was, after a few months not it feels slow again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best bet would be to throw on a boost gauge. Stock boost on a ba should be around 6 psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
