  1. So recently blew the turbo on my Terri Turbo which Ive replaced with a new turbo but unfortunately my luck some how the cat is stuffed also which is throwing my car into limp mode. I have a Magnaflow twin 2.5 or 2.75 inch Cat back exhaust which came on the car. I just bought this dump the other day because I knew I was going to take the cat off anyways ---> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/290602047198?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 now I need to find a Cat to suit the setup. Anyone know of any high flow cats that dont cost a mortage? OEM Ford cat = $1750 Magnaflow from a Exhaust shop = $600 I highly doubt the magnaflow costs 600, they just like to make a fresh markup on it. So yeah if anyone knows any good highflow cats that dont cost an arm and a leg pls let me know
  2. Cheers Wenier, After I posted up I did do some searching. I've called MTQ turbo here in perth. They said they rebuild xr6 turbo's once every 3 weeks dude to the Gauze filter failing. I've booked the car in to get the turbo rebuilt and a new oil feed line with an aftermarket oil filter setup on it and having the gauze stock filter removed. Apparently the stock oil feed filter on these motors clogs up 90-130k's if not removed and cleaned and blows the turbo even if you service the car ever 5-10 thou which mine has. One more thing if you can help me with. My check engine light has come on the same time this is happening. I know from experience that the turbo's dont have sensors of any kind, could it just be that the car was running rich due to the fact the turbo wasnt spooling correctly flooding an o2 sensor of some kind? told the guys ant MTQ and he also said the check engine light has nothing to do with the spun bearing on the turbo. any idea's? and who can diagnose the check engine light?
  3. hey all, So purchased my Territory Ghia Turbo 2 months ago and I was driving home today the check engine light came on. Nothing appeared to be out of the normal until I got off the freeway and found my turbo making a bearing noise. Car has done 120 thou and has log book service every 10 thousand k's sometimes 5 thousand k's. Started the car back up once I got home to see if I could here the turbo again and I cant really. I have a really bad feeling im going to need a turbo rebuild. Is it common to happen to these turbo's on the fords? I know garretts are good for 150 thou or more before they even start to show signs of wear and tear. Should I wait for the car to cool down and take it for another drive?
