I like the idea of the truetrac not having wearable components like the wavetrac, I'll gladly sacrifice ultimate drivability for ultimate durability.

I'm looking at getting a true trac and new bushes so maybe you can help me. Did you go with an Eaton model or Harrop? How much was it? How much were the super pro bushes? And how much was your labor plus bearings, seals and oil? Hope you help me out a bit.
-
I'm up for a new diff centre too now (bf manual sedan 395rwkw) what is the consensus on eaton vs harrop? Because 600 vs 1200 is a big DIFFerence... Sorry. I was quoted 1100 for labor plus bearings etc. What bushes are you guys putting in when you replace them? I don't want to get all this work done and them be tearing it back down to replace cracked bushes in 3 months time.

Not to hijack the thread but I have had the same problem. Bf manual 395rwkw. Same circumstance. Cold. High speed/load. It originally was supposed to be on 16psi, boosting up to 22. I took it back, it went back on the dyno. Now it only creeps up to about 20 - Still throwing the p0236 code but much less often.. Both times it was tuned it was holding a solid 16psi on the dyno. I will be taking it back and the tuner is expecting me but it is a matter of getting some time to get it there.. So you think it is purely a tuning issue?

But it does sound good, not too loud, doesn't drone.

My bf manual is only making 394rwkw so I don't ow if this is even relevant... I've got a 4 inch dump into 3.5" single system by xforce and I've had HUGE issues with the fitment. Cost me an extra couple hours labour with the tuners trying in vain to get it to fit and an extra trip to a performance exhaust shop. The exhaust guy said he spent 3.5hrs on it (only charged for two). Had to heat the dump pipe to bend it up, elongate holes in the cat as it was rotationally out of step. And cut the muffler, re-weld it to get it to sit level, move the mounting brackets, bend the transitional pipes to clear the transmission tunnel... Etc etc. So not great for something that should really bolt straight on.

I've got a 06 bf xr6t manual with 394rwkw and my actual consumption (liters filled vs trip meter) is 15-16lt/100 but my computer says it should be 11.6? I drive a pretty economic run to work (50ks, 2 sets of lights and some half of it is freeway) so I think it should be more around the 11-12 that the computer says. I can smell fuel when over half a tank before start up just standing near the car.. Any ideas? Last month I spent nearly a grand on fuel! Any ideas?

Keep the sloppy clutch so your gearbox doesn't break? :/<br />

I don't know. He says he has had the same problem with Siemens 60lbers a couple of times too, but I'm not sure with he is referring to those couple being the only time he has used them or if he is saying that it's worked on some and not on others.. He told me they said they would get back to him by the end of the week. <br /><br />I'll post up some Dyno sheets with afr, and boost.<br /><br />Do these look right? Is the boost normally all squiggly like this?<br /><br />Also my car threw a code at me today p0238 which is high boost sensor reading?<br /><br />I was driving past so I dropped into see him about it and he plugged in and said he "removed the threshold so it wouldn't flash at me" but it seems a bit strange to me.<br /><br />My scan gauge reads about 17.5psi flat when I have checked it on full boost which is higher than on the Dyno sheet too, I questioned him on that and he said the weather/temp etc can effect that and not to worry about it.<br /><br />Yes on the new clutch. Bad idea, I realize that now. Clutch seems fine at the moment though, trying to go easy on it.<br /><br />
-
So has anybody had any joy getting support from xforce regarding Ill or non fitting pieces? Surely they should replace the cat for me given it doesn't fit at all (it leaks!).
-
I just had a full xforce system put on. It sounds amazing. Major dramas with fitting it though. Am in the process of chasing up xforce about supplying me with a new cat as the one they supplied has terrible flanges and it leaks and ruined the fitting of the rest of the exhaust. Not happy I'm sure I'm going to have to pay for the labour to swap it at the very least :/
-
I too hope I haven't glazed mine :/. Made the bad decision to try a 2nd gear Australia day burnout after maybe only 500km of use. No tyre spin. Only clutch... 387rwkw.<br />Today I thought I smelled clutch after a 3rd gear pull.<br />Hmmmm.

It fits but it is very. Very... Very tight.<br />Not even a fraction of a millimeter.<br />1. Tear the whole front of the car off. There isn't an easy way to get this thing on.<br />2. Put the silicon piece on the turbo with the plasma man logo oriented as shown.<br />3. Cut the section of metal away that will be needed to clear the pod as shown.<br />4. Insert the s bend from the front through towards the turbo.<br />5. Swear.<br />6. Swear some more.<br />7. Have a coffee.<br />8. Try again. It does fit.<br />9. Do the rest of the intercooler and piping at the same time because youve already done a lot of hard yards so why not.- 10 replies
