The way I see it, he made up a whole lot of crap about my turbo thinking I'd be a sucker and say "ok just fix it and let me know how much it'll cost" but because I said I can't right now, he tuned it very bad and blamed it on the turbo so I could go back and tell him that I would like to fix the turbo. But when I called him and told him I wasn't happy with the tune, he had forgotten all the crap he spun and couldn't figure out why the tune was so sh*t

I want to say, but I cbf with all the backlash and the "he would never do that, he knows his sh*t" and blah blah And bigger injectors on stock tune = pathetic fuel consumption

I bet that 2.... Safe to say I'll never go back there again

Just an update on the situation guys, finally took the car back the other day. Seems as though I was bang on the money..... When I rang up to take my car back, I basically told him that I wasn't happy with the tune and that it felt quite stock. The tuner did not remember myself or the car to well, he told me to bring the car back because they warrant all their tunes. After an hour of leaving the car there he called me up and asked me it I took the car to another tuner at all because, are you ready for it????? The stock tune was set!!!! When I went to pick up the car he told me the car is running beautifully now and running 12-13psi with no mention of any turbo problems. How would u take that?

The 2.5k was spent on Xcal, f6 injectors and the turbo had to be removed because I had an exhaust leak. I am from sydney for those that have asked. I don't doubt the F6 injectors, in reference to my comment about being convinced to install the injectors... I was happy to just do the tune for better fuel consumption(that was my initial intentions upon first visit) and the tuner advised me of putting the injectors because it will get more power and the fuel consumption will be the same as not putting them. So I thought y not for an extra $500. But I got no power increase, so that's y I feel I was lead down the wrong track

I'll try and get this turbo checked out ASAP and go from there

Havnt got it retuned. Last time I spoke to the tuner he just shut me right down with out wanting to listen to what I had to say

Sorry guys, in the middle of moving houses and have no time to pull pipes off. And for those of you having a little dig at me, how would u feel if u got talked into fitting F6 injectors and promised all these results and your car feels no different but you have $2500 less in your wallet. I'm not kidding when I say I can't feel ANY power difference, and my fuel consumption is worst....

I'll try and make some time to get the cone off and get some photos. How about the oil on the turbo? That was definitely not there before. The thing is the owner didn't tune the car, some youngster tuned it

You see the reason that got me thinking was, he rang me and said "your fins r bent, I have this awesome turbo here to throw on and blah blah" just tried to make a sale straight away, then when I went in to pick up the car he tried selling me a comp wheel and I didn't like that. I've never really heard of a turbo not being able to boost any more because of bent fins. At a closer look now I'm Barely pushing 8psi....

I don't really want to bad mouth anyone. But it is one of the Bigger names. When I asked y the boost was so low he said it was too dangerous to boost anymore, said the turbo would go. I doubt that.... I was running more boost before the tune And he didn't tell me rwkw before hand, cause there was an exhaust leak when he first ran it and said it was quite low

Hey guys, just recently got a XCal and F6 injectors fitted to my FG XR6 Turbo and I am not really happy with the end result. I know numbers are just numbers but it just doesn't feel any different. Very little power increase, it got 260rwkw with only other mods being the XR8 air box and middle muffler removed. My boost gauge is only reading 8psi. The tuner told me that turbo had a couple of bent fins and when he dyno ran it on 12psi the turbo was "screaming"What are your thoughts on this? Also saw some oil coming out of the turbo as you can see in the pic I've attached.

sweet, thanks mate. Should trust what the tuner is telling you but sometimes its good to hear everyone elses experiences. what is the actual flow rate or size of the FG F6 injectors?

Hey guys, After 3 long years I've finally decided to tune my FG XR6 turbo. Now my question is what size injectors would u go for? I am only doing the tune, no dump or cat being changed as of yet. I may one day but not right now. I've done a bit of research and can't come up with the right answer. Some people are running 60lb and some 80lb. Had a little chat with the tuner and he said to just upgrade to the F6 injectors. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Well I finally got around to doing the exhaust, had a few busy weekends! And the end result is awesome, definitely not to loud! Idle is quiet, you can somewhat hear that it isnt the standard sound. When you accelerate a little at cruising speed you can hear a nice sharp note. To me it sounds like a quieter version of a skyline. What I ended up going for was just the 3" straight pipe that goes to one side of the muffler then there is a join that bends a little into the other side of the muffler. If you would like some pictures let me know and ill post. Over all it is the best $150 spent! Sounds great
