Put me down for a maybe! I'll have to assess my roster and a few other bits and pieces. Looks like a great cruise though!

I recently bought a TT for the wife as her daily, and I've racked up more kms then her... I've recently got it custom tuned and bigger injectors, and it really hauls for a big car. I've got two baby seats in the back and I can still easily fit an adult in the middle if required. Pretty thirsty on fuel, but averaged 11.5 from canberra-sydney-canberra... JTG gas systems can be installed for about 5k, so that's another option if it becomes too thirsty.. Edit: Just read your above post which was posted while I was typing!! obviously the fuel consumption won't be an issue on a lease!

Having just got back from CV performance I can reveal that my TT made ~242awkw! I'm stoked with the new found power! Really brings back memories of my 300rwkw XR6T!! I'm pretty sure I will want to do the cooler upgrade in 12 months time or so The car had deka injectors, re-gapped plugs, secondary air intake, debunged exhaust and flash tune. Running 12psi, but I forgot to ask for other dyno sheets, I was too eager to go for a drive! Also forgot to ask for my standard injectors back Standard it made about 185awkw, so an increase of about ~60awkw. Also a nice healthy increase in torque! It really does pull hard now, hooks up and goes great for such a big car, I can only imagine how good 300awkw would feel! You can really hear the turbo spooling now, sounds great! Thanks to the boys at CV, I arrived about 1045am and was gone by about 130pm

haha nice mate! A cooler upgrade might be the next thing. I got 12 months to plan for it though, as the wife is on maternity leave for a while! She doesn't want me spending much on the cars till she's back at work, I swear they panic about nothing!!

Do you take it to the drags often? Or launch hard often? I think I'll see how it goes with tune/injectors etc and then look at doing FMIC down the track. I've only had the car 3wks, the wife will kill me if I break her car so soon!

I agree, but then you're pushing 300awkw, sure you can run lower boost to lower the power/torque. I guess for me I know that for now (at least 12 months or so) I'll be happy with ~250awkw. So the intercooler upgrade isn't really on the cards yet, when or if I want more power it'll be the next step. Dyno Junkie, how's your box and drive train holding up?? It's my major concern with running bigger power, although I shouldn't worry too much, as I usually drive like a nanna and most of the time the wife will be driving it, I guess I just don't need that extra 'worry' hanging over me at the moment!

Gazman, I will let you know how I go! It would be nice if Kev does have some better performing top mounts, it would be easier to install! Might be something I'll ask him and look at down the track.

Hey mate, yeah I have TT and I'll be sure to let you know how it goes once the tune and injectors are done. I wouldn't fit the injectors unless you have made a prior arrangement with the tuning shop! You'll need to flash your car with a tune to suit the injectors. So you'll need a flash tuner with you once you've fitted the injectors. Are you sure the intercooler from the states will do the job well enough? If you're planning to mod further then tune/injectors then you would be best off going with a FMIC like others have suggested. I'm pretty sure shops will supply/fit for about 2k... At this stage for me, I can't justify spending money on an intercooler upgrade as I know I don't want to push more then 250awkw, but that might change down the track! I'll cross that road when I come to it though!

I agree with both of you, and if the drive train was proven to handle 300awkw I'd be getting rid of the top mount straight away. I guess it depends on how far you want to go, who knows, down the track I might end up doing it. For now though, I need to look after the drive train! I can't speak for the OP, but by the sounds of it he'd rather not spend on an intercooler upgrade if it's not required. I don't think it's required if you're happy to sit on 10-12psi and ~240awkw.. If you want more then that, and are prepared to risk the drive train then I'd go a front mount set up for sure!

from my research on the TT, injectors, tune, debung and a second air intake will get between 230-260awkw. The AWD saps a little more power from the wheels then usual RWD. XR6Ts will generally get more then 270rwkw with injectors, tune, air intake and cat. From what I've read, doing the cat will not give a big increase in power, dump/cat will help though. I've got exhaust debunged and second air intake, and I'll be getting tune and injectors tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it all goes. I've also read that the input shaft struggles with power at 300awkw, doing the intercooler as well as the other mods will see you hit 300awkw or close enough to it..

Oh ok, cool thanks mate!

Sorry for the thread hijack! But I recently bought a turbo terry, and sometimes when I change from 2-3 or 3-4 the revs still sit at about 3000rpm for a bit (not belting it, just normal driving). Or the other day I was overtaking in normal D mode and when I backed off the accelerator the revs were still high and slowly coming down (it didn't change into 5th or 6th) and I had to manually shift it to 6th to get the revs back. Is this normal?? I only bought it 3wks ago, and plan to take it to CV for a tune and injectors soon... But if it's got a gearbox issue I'd rather let ford sort it out first. It's only got 32,000kms on it (07 model).

if you're going to mod, then f*ck the extended warranty... it'll be worth sh*t... As people have said, if you play you pay. if you manage to weasle a warranty claim, then best of luck to you. I have extended warranty on my turbo terry, but not because I wanted it... It was basically a condition of sale, and I accepted it for no other reason then 10yrs of ford road side assistance! I get a 10yr warranty (depending on service conditions and mods etc), plus road side assistance, so the road side alone was worth not haggling any further! I doubt they would have budged much on price anyway. Even if I mod, at least road side assistance will till tow me to a repair shop if my mods cause my gearbox to crap itself!

That's true, but the training isn't just about driving... So whilst it may not slow you down quicker, it will give you a better chance at reading the road, conditions and assessing the risk. All these combined will help you make 'more' correct decisions, and this is usually the difference between having a crash or keeping on the road. When most people drive fast they end up with tunnel vision, you only really concentrate on what's in front of you and this is what is most dangerous. A trained driver (police even) will constantly look around and assess, re-assess, not to mention they usually have some one else in the car keeping an eye on road and traffic conditions.
