  1. Good Point! Thanks for the advice, I will try it your way and see if it makes a difference, its definetely louder with a pod. Thanks for the advice
  2. that's basically what I have done. Its the same as Crans has done on this post http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=32557
  3. Yes I am running a K&N filter on it Basically I blocked off the pipe at the back, and ran the other pipe into the blow off valve an vented the other back to atmosphere with a filter on the end of it and extended the vacuum pipe and re-connected it?? Confused
  4. Gday guys, Just finished reverse venting my blow off valve like others have done but went for a drive and I can barely hear it, if hear it at all. I have put a filter on the end to keep at dirt out of it. Any ideas why I cant hear it?? Cheers

    Oil Leak

    Gday guys, I have an issue with the drian back pipe from the turbo back to the sump leaking. Took it back to Ford and they tightened it.... next day, smoke burning from the the oil leaking onto the exhaust. Took it back again and the replaced the gaskets. Sure enough next day... guess what, still leaking. Im really stuck now as for some answers as what to do! Any advice from others experiencing the same problem would be greatly appreciated Cheers
  6. Gday Guys, I removed the centre muffler the other day and now sometimes when when I accelerate, generally before I hit boost, I get a splutter like its either getting too much fuel or its starving of fuel. Either way I cant accelerate until I back off and try again. Doesnt do it all the time just every now and then. Im guessing that because I have removed the centre muffler it has less restriction. Iknow I have an overboost problem since I put the bigger cooler, K&N etc.. so would this problem be related to overboosting? Will an edit/tune fix the problem? Cheers
  7. Hmm ok thanks. Can I ask a really dumb question? Who's the WOG??? Cheers
  8. Ok, so does this mean that they are stuffed and need replacement asap or does it mean that until its tuned to suit the cooler better they will continue to get lazy under high load. I guess I need to know is the car ok to drive? Thanks guys appreciate the advice
  9. Valve Springs! Great I cant understand though if it was valve springs, how a restart of the vehicle they would automatically come good and the car would run fine. Im still running standard boost pressure so didnt think they would be an issue. If they are U/S though how can I tell for sure if they have had it?? Ta
  10. Ok thanks, yeah havent got an EDIT as yet, its been fine so far but obviously when you push it to the limit it doesnt like it. You know of any good tuners in Melb Ta
  11. Gday guys, This morning I gave the old girl a bit of a spray as you do, when the power seemed to drop out! I dont think it was the fuel cutout but after the drop in power the car was running like a pig, I couldnt accelerate at all, felt like I was running on 5 cylinders. So I pulled over, into park (still running rough) switched the car off, popped the bonnet to make sure nothing had come off. All looked well so I re-started it and it was running fine, with perfect idle. Continued driving with no issues!!! I have considered the following: Its overfueled somehow? Its reached the point of overboost and has gone into limp mode (I think this one) Can anyone think of any other possible scenarios??? The only mods the car has is K&N Filter and Wog Cooler Cheers guys
  12. Hey Guys, I have sold my XR6 17's of the sedan. Wil they fit a BA XT Ute. I remember hearing something a while ago abotu different offset on the rear??? Any assistance would be much appreciated
  13. Ok guys, I drove the car today and can definetely notice a difference in the performance, it drove well and didnt notice any issues with it! I will be more content after its been up on the dyno and had the required adjustments made. Hopefully I should notice a noticeable difference. Next thing is exhaust and then I will stop there for a while haha
