Need some advise on upgrades and money spent on xr6 fg Turbo ute from performance to brakes ect

based central Coast nsw

Have been quoted 6k to get 400rwk that’s trading in stock turbo...

valve springs, cat delete, stage 3 intercooler upgrade ect and cooling plus inline oil filter of course 

told k&n filter is better than any growler 

no mention of fuel pump but yes upgrade injectors

Who was that?

 

Have a read thru this thread to get some insight on what works well 

http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91528-modding-your-fg-xr6g6e-turbo-take-2/

Most importantly though is to use a tuner with plenty of barra experience, even if you have to travel. 

A local place may be guns at commonwhores or jap or euro cars but won't guarantee a happy ending.

@MattyP @BAXRTUTE @MBAF any recent feedback on blacktrack in Cardiff? Used to see their name pop up a bit.

Black track have been quiet here but even the big Sydney tuners have let me down that list seems a little odd though,

The best my car performed for daily duties was stock turbo maxed out on e85 

cheap to get there, loads of fun on the street and still did regular 11s

id recommend 

Intank fuel pump (walbro 460 or equivalent)

1000cc injectors

exhaust (decat if off road use only)

intercooler 

turboside 

And enjoy on e85

Absolute horror stories mate 

go to someone decent whom knows what they are doing 

a lot of tuners buy a dyno and tune aftermarket ecus (because they’re relatively easy) and think they can do the xr6ts and completely sh*t the bed or even copy paste tunes
