Ok cool I try put the standard spring in. Thanks guys this is all new to me lol, always been a v8 person

So if I was to use the 7psi spring would that be close enough to the standard one without the need for a retune?

Oh and it's a 2003 ba

Yeah going to upgrade the injectors and cooler at a later stage. I've ordered a turbo smart one which comes with 5psi, 7psi and 12psi springs. Failing that they told me I could use the spring in my standard 1. Would love to do the injectors and tune now but money won't permit atm lol

Ok well do you know what the standard actuator pressure is and ill just replace it with that

Yeah still standard dump, the exhaust isn't though, I was checking out the turbo smart ones on eBay so would the 7psi ones do the job? The next size up on there is 12psi. Or can you get say 10psi ones from autobarn etc? I don't plan on getting another tune for a while yet

Hi guys I've been doing some searching but now I'm more confused about the size of the wastegate actuator I need? The car is tuned at 10psi and lately I've been suffering from a boost leak around the turbo area and the car is surging as it comes onto boost, I've done the norm and checked all the pipes for splits and tightness as well as all the turbo bolts so I'm thinking it may be the actuator. Being new to turbos I was just wondering what size to get?

Just tried this, worked a treat mine must have been pretty dirty because the difference in pick up is rediculous!

Yeah the mrs and I not long had another baby so the cost of a 6spd conversion was out of the question. So a new clutch it was

Had an expensive week! Clutch started to slip so rather then stuff around with it I out a new one in and did the centre bearing while I had the tail shaft out. Worst part was undoing the top startermotor bolt, what a sh*t design that is! Also got rid of the black 19's and put some chrome 20's on it

Yeah it's 5 speed, the clutch has started slipping in 4th and 5th so that the first thing on the list

Nah mate wouldn't have a clue hey. Ill be looking for someone around Newcastle after I do a few things to it to get retuned. Found out the injectors are blue Bosch 27lb injectors which really surprises me because of the power difference between stock and the 10psi tune. Think an upgrade may be in order. I thought they came with bigger injectors when there stock

I actually just googled the part number and they came up as Bosch 27lb now still being new to fords, didn't they come out with bigger injectors then that

Hi guys I've not long got a ba xr6t after owning holdens all my life and want to start doing a few more mods to it. It's flashtuned with a twin mandrel exhaust I've found so far. I'm looking to upgrade the valve springs, chuck a bigger intercooler and fuel pump in. Was going to change the injectors as well but because I'm not sure what's been done I thought I'd put a pic up to see if anyone knows what they are. Sorry not the best pic but thought you would get an idea. They are blue but not sure how else you can tell what they are

Oh sorry yeah I also got the hand controler for the tune and was told it was done on a dyno and saved into it so if I wanted to return it to stock settings I could and still be able to change it back anytime. And yeah I've noticed how much fun these can be and loose in the wet after I started getting wheel spin in 5th in the wet. Something my previous Holdens couldn't do lol

Yeah mate it's genuine, guy reversed into it with a 4x4 before I got it so he upgraded it with the xr8 bonnet along with new hinges and bar etc, still had the factory stickers on everything. Was only really damage caused by the tow bar m, nothing major. I'm getting the standard air box cover tomorrow so was thinking of modifying it to fit the pod inside.other then that ill just chuck a k&n panal filter in. What colour should the standard injectors be or are there any seriel numbers on them where I could tell?

Hi I've not long found the site and so far I'm impressed! I only got this thing 2 weeks ago so I'm still finding out what's been done to it. Atm I know it's got a twin mandrel bent exhaust, lowered, with Lovell springs, cross drilled and slotted rotors all around, new black 19" avanti wheels, fpv typhoon intercooler and its been flash tuned and is now running 10psi. I've noticed a bit of clutch slip in 5th so that's the first thing on my list! I also want to upgrade the fuel pump and throw some 60lb injectors in it, is there any way of telling if the injectors have been replaced because like I said I'm unsure of what else has been done? Also a bigger intercooler is on my list, and maybe get a tune with the boost set to 12psi, the colour is phantom but seems to look more blue from my phone pics for some reason Ill post better pics and more info as I get it I've also always been a Expensive Daewoo person but always had a soft spot for the xr6 turbo. I had a spare gq patrol sitting around and got offered a swap for the xr6 I have now and thought it was time for a new project lol

Here is a few pics of mine so atm. Still trying to work out what's been done and what hasn't. I know it's been flash tuned and boost upped to 10psi as I got the controller with the car, also has a twin mandrel bent system. Other then that I'm not sure what else has been done. The clutch started slipping yesterday so in going to replace that and give the car a good going over to see if anything else has been done to it.

Yeah thought about doing that, just thought if there are any days coming up I'd just wait till then

Hi guys I just found this forum after doing a search online. I've just got a 2003 manual ba xr6 turbo after being into holdens all my life so far and I must say I'm very impressed and happy with the car so far. Don't get me wrong I still love my holdens but I've always had a soft spot for xr6 turbo's. I'm unsure what's been done to mine engine wise, ATM I know it's been flash tuned with the boost upto 10psi with a k&n pod filter and mandrel bent exhaust. As for the rest I'm unsure what else has been done to the engine. Do any members on here know of any dyno days coming up? I'd love to tag along and maybe see what my car is putting out power wise
