If I got PW stepped cooler with piping and want go to a turbo side intake and loose crossover.Will I need to change hotside piping? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87411-plaz-vs-process-west/page/27/#findComment-1507301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes it was spirited driving,and by the end the thing went so slow a stock xt falcon would have pumped us. I can get the first half of my cooler hot with some spirited driving. So no, intercooler performance is required all the time.

(only basing this on the 2 PW group buys you organised hahaha) For someone who doesn't go track or to the strip what is best? So I'm talking almost daily driver (to/from work around 50kms each way and in stop/start traffic therefore taking up to 1 hour to drive) and with the occasional thrash every now and then (usually one or two good squirts....then maybe 5-10mins normal driving, then maybe a few more thrashes - but never continuous WOT like would be experienced at the track).....

Not so fussed about cutting anymore (in Perth) - seems like everyone here does it anyways?For my use as mentioned above which would you recommend? (Darren from Monsta Torque over here in Perth said the Stage 2 works more efficiently and better than stage 1 and apparently doesn't really like the Plaz gear?).Choices are: 1) PW Stage 1 2) PW Stage 23) Plaz 800HP4) Plaz 1000HP Looking for 300-320rwkw first tune....I don't think I will want to go past 350-370rwkw ever (cause can't afford to rebuild/strengthen ZF). I will also have Plaz Turbo side but apparently all piping kits mentioned above will clear it (PW only just clears apparently?)... 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87411-plaz-vs-process-west/page/27/#findComment-1507404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
