    not good mate!
  4. Ben, Just email them at sales@gofastbits.com.au they will point you to their preferred distributor. As for installing it the guys at GFB installed it for me, as we were looking at the design process of where it would go and the ease of removing it if need be. Its set to air at the moment, and only set to around 4 out of 10. As for a filter, ill have to ask the guys at GFB and get back to you.
  5. I have set it on 4 which is not too loud but not too soft either.. its noticeable. I guess its up to the individuals taste as to how loud you want it to be. I dont want to be seen as some "ricer" with the noise as loud as possible. I just want it to be their and slightly noticeable.
  6. Charlie mate! I Love it! love the touch of the sticker on the back window! The ute looks mean! What do you think of the blood orange? It definently stands out!
  7. mateeeeeeeeeeee very impressive! Go the Auto's! Would the power output have made much of a difference due to it being a ute?

  14. Well today went to Go Fast Bits in Sydney to help Brett Turner one of the engineers with the design and installation method for a blow off valve for the XR6 Turbo. The main issue with installing the blow off valve on the XR6 Turbo is mainly due to room. Their is not enough room to fit it in properly. Working with another vendor a few weeks back we looked at cutting the left hand side rubber piping and making a custom bracket to hold the blow off valve. This proved to be a good idea at the time, but after checking with Ford spare parts the rubber piping was roughly $400 to replace, as the only way to buy it was in kit form which included the black "Turbo" housing. I contacted Go Fast Bits out of curiosity. Junior (rjs) a member on our site mentioned that they had developed a unit called the Stealth FX. This unit basically is a custom designed and patented blow off valve which unlike others on the market is fully adjustable, it lets you set the volume of the blow off valve similar to a car stereo, of 1 to 10 with a quick turn of the BOV. 10 of course is the loudest, and yes its very noticeable. Or you can move it to the 1 position which returns it to the same sound level as the standard bosch one. Installation was a breeze, basically taking off the plastic Turbo Housing to reveal the Bosch valve, undoing the Bosch valve by leavering off the fasteners, and plugging the Stealth FX into the existing rubber hosing. I was quite amazed that it fit so easily and so snug compared to the other manufacturer i had a look at a few weeks back. The good thing about the ease of installation is not only that you can get your hands in to adjust the BOV for noise to make it silent, but it can easily be removed without causing any hassles at all. I was really impressed with the quality of the blow off valve from GFB and the design of it. Alot of thought has gone into the engineering of the product and it certainly shows. Another good thing about it as discussed in other threads, that the venting of air could be seen as bad in some cases. A quick turn of the ratchet style head redirects the air to the inlet, instead of venting it to the atmosphere. More info on the Stealth FX can be found here: http://www.gofastbits.com.au/stealth.htm Im not an expert at BOV's or Turbo's and dont claim to be. But from driving it around today and this evening. I have not noticed any changes in performance and the like. (I still have the old bosch one and can easily put it back in anytime if i do). The RRP on the Stealth FX Valve is $530 and can be purchased by contacting GFB at sales@gofastbits.com.au or by calling them on 1300 767 666 Dont forget to mention the site FordXR6Turbo.com when you call or email. They will do their utmost to help.
  15. Well guys, Been working with a place in Victoria to get Scuff plates made up with the FordXR6Turbo.com Logo on it. They have sent me a sample set, and personally i think they look fantastic! :D I have attached 3 images of the scuff plates. Please let me know what you think and if you would be interested in a set. I am still working on pricing with ACME but i would say they would be roughtly $30 for a set. If you are interested or have any questions please respond to this thread. The scuff plate is much thicker better made then the standard XR one. The text is also raised and in a chrome finish, this is the same with the surrounding of the scuff plate.
  16. Where are you Charlie!!
