I tried to log it once and pretty sure it was spiking straight upto 20psi (somehow didn't blow the motor up).

Response was good. Boost would build quick and I'd hold it at around 3 or 4 pounds and short shift. Id be happy with that kind of power and response for now. Now that it's fixed it's back to slow boring spec.

No warping yet and I've been into them. Heated them up good going down Mt Ousley with a full car and no shudder just a slight pulse from the pedal which I would guess is the rears as they're now due. Might match a pair of rears and see how they go. Transmission cooler seems to be doing a good job. It mirrors coolant temps most of the time. Biggest difference I've seen was on a cold morning it was 5* cooler than the coolant but that didn't last long. Dumb question time. Can you run aux or a/m h/u on the base icc? Or do I need to upgrade it to one that at least has aux input?

Then you press AM twice and it'll come up with aux Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92419-rob83rs-work-hack/page/6/#findComment-1618290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
