has anything been done to strengthen gearbox or tailshaft/input shaft? I'm at 325rwkw with the standard FG turbo on my xr6T and I'm thinking about changing the turbo for more power but it's a daily and I'm worried about gearbox/trannie/tailshaft etc and any other reliability mods that need to be done so I dont cook it lol

sorry to dig up an old post. I'm having this issue on my mkII FG xr6T. On normal driving it never comes up, but when I floor it and go past full boost, most of the time (not all) it will trigger the DSC error and traction control will be off. Turn the car off and when I turn it back on, DSC error is gone again. Anyone know the cause?

Understood. Thanks I will speak to him tomorrow and put it to him that way. Your exactly correct.

will I need to return it to stock to take it to another tuner? Cant take it as is and just get him to start the tune again? I assume I'll need to put back on the stock injectors so the engine doesn't flood, everything else should be fine?

return the whole car to stock?

My god you were right. lol It is still stalling -.- Not only this, but someimtes when I floor it, it will hold around 4,000rpm and feels like its spitting power abit then keeps going past 4,000rpm. Is this tune related also or is this spark plug issue? Stalling still happening, really getting frustrated.

after carefully looking through the tune, my tuner has spotted what he thinks is the problem and its in the transmission tune. I am taking the car back in tomorrow at 10am so fingers crossed this is the issue. I will let you guys know the outcome.

another update.....car still stalls on full tank lol. Must've just got lucky last night! F*$K

Yeah I will keep everyone updated as things happen. Its good to hear other opinions from everyone here because it would seem at this point even the tuner doesn't have a definitive idea of what the problem is.

the more suddenly I stop, the more likely it is to stall (under 1/2 a tank) If I cruise to a stop it wont stall most of the time. Although with a full tank as mentioned, I haven't stalled once yet. As turbotrana said though I could start it again tonight and it might start happening again. Tuner suggested a new fuel filter. I guess that's my next option for now unless he thinks its in the tune.

pull what out the filter? I wouldn't have a clue how to lol. In any case, I'd be happy to pay the $30 and put a new filter in anyway because I'm pretty sure the FG's need to be changed after 60,000kms anyway. I'm at 42k. Just wanna get it up and running reliably ASAP. its doing my head in all day and night lol

never had an issue prior to the tune/mods at all. Never stalled before, never even sounded or felt like stalling...

I am working with my tuner on the issue, he hasn't mentioned anything about changing anything at the idle though. he said maybe we'll change the fuel filter... I just thought its strange how it will happen every time when the car is under half a tank of petrol :\ and not so much (not at all so far) when the tank is full.

nah I didn't replace the fuel pump. Could that be the issue?

noise will improve heaps with a new cat and more boost. the cooler and turbo side intake as well. sounds like a jet engine sucking in and boost and the exhaust sounds much louder with the cat, even at idle, but its not loud like an exhaust would be, its the right kind of loud, only when you want it to be. No drone on the highway either. you will love it
