Thanks, Is that the only/Best place to put it to get the most accurate reading?

Can someone tell me where to connect the boost gauge too. A pic would be really great. Do I have to connect it to the small pipe off the BV? Thanks,

????? I installed it on the end closest to the firewall. (The shorter pipe). Not the pipe that goes under the intake. Which I thought was the return pipe. Is this the correct one?? Maybe a pic if someone has one. This pic may help. Why did you put the blow off valve there?? I put the blow off valve inplace of the old one on the other side of the pipes.

Around the wrong way? It can only go on one way? I unpluged the old blow off valve and the pipe closest to the firewall is where I connected it and blocked the other pipe up. Is this correct? This blow off valve does not have a return pipe.

I have installed a blow off valve with a trumpet. I can hear the air release it does not come out of the trumpet. It is only coming out of the vents on the side? I took the trumpet off and blew through it and it whistled. I ran the car without the trumpet and it makes the exact same noise with it on. What can cause the trumpet not to work? I have adjusted the tension and installed different springs with no luck. Can anybody help????

Thanks for your help, but I am not with a club. :( Am I being too fussy? Should I just put up with the shunt in the gearshift? Is his normal? I have had 3 different people drive my car and they have all noticed the shunt, before I mentioned it to them. Are the tyres under warranty does anyone know or do I have to go to Dunlop and get them replaced?

When I took my car into the dealers and the service manager came for a drive with me and I showed him the shunt through the gearshift and he said it was not right. But I got the usual comment. "It is within specification". Is there anything I can do? Does anyone know if a different clutch has been put into the xr6 Turbo? I had one of the first xr6 Tubos “Oct Build” and I just picked up my new one and the clutch feels a lot lighter. In my opinion the clutch does not feel as strong and gets hot really quick and slips. Can anyone confirm this?

I booked my car in after 2 weeks of getting it because I had a shunt through the gearshift, Vibrating through the steering wheel at 70-120 and I had no floor pegs to hold my mats in place. After I got it back from the dealer, I still had the shunt through the gearshift, the steering wheel still shacked all over the road and there was still no pegs on my floor mats. They did put 20grams of weight on the wheels as they were not balanced. And they also manage to put an extra 26kmh on the clock for me. So I took my car to Pedders as they did my suspension for me and the first thing they checked was tyre runout. And sure enough all the tyres are oval. I have to take the car back to the dealer next Tuesday and see what they say. When I was on the phone to them they insisted that the wheels are still not balanced. Even though they did it 2 weeks ago. The dealer asked who I believed, them or Pedders. I think Pedders. I now also need to get the disks machined.

Just wanting to know what rev's do you take off at in the manual if you are racing to get minimal wheel spin? :idea:

I'v had my xr6t for 6 months and just traded it in for another. (Change of colour. Just love the employee discount) :D I first got my shudder when I drove to the Great Ocean Road. And again about 3 months later. From what I have been told by different people at Ford it is an air flow problem. There is not enough cold air getting to the disks and causing them to warp. Ford are designing vents to allow air to flow to the disks. There are mixed opinions about if there will be a recall.

I threw a few option's out there hoping for some feedback. I'm happy to meet up anywhere's as long as it aint out past the black stump at the crack of dawn. Actualy drop the black stump bit, the further I get to drive the better I'll Be in it. But I want more than 2 cars going. Who else is going to go? How many Turbo's am I going to see their. Heard it is going to rain. only 24deg and Rain.

Can anyone see a problem in changing the plastic pipes on the turbo to a nice chrome pipes? Using the same diameter pipe. The only thing I could see happening is maybe the metal pipe getting hotter than the plastic.

So are we meeting up at Melbourne Bound Servo Western Ring Road or Caroline Springs or some where else?

From what I have found out the steal relieving of the casting was not done before machining. Don't know how true this is, but it can cause the disk to shine up under heat and that could be why the breaks are fading. The disks need to be heat treated to stop them warping under heat. That’s what I heard from the guys at Ford anyway. Is it true that the Premium breaks have the same problem? I was going to make the dealer put them on my car.
