BJSXR6TMKII

Just a quick update guys, had my car looked at, actuator was very loose, got it tightened up and retuned, put out 447rwkw and to say I'm happy with it would be a massive understatement, thank you all for your advice

I had everything done at once with all brand new parts, the car was tuned right after, I took it to the most reputable shop in southern tas for it all to be fitted, to be fair the tuners only tuned it

The turbo was brand new and has only done 3000kms so I'd presume it's not the turbo, so now my dilemma is do I take it back to the same tuner and suggest they adjust the preloaded after they have already told me that's the best they can do with the 6662 or do I go elsewhere? Being in Tasmania I don't have a lot of option tuner wise

This is a copy of my dyno printout, it was tuned by the boys at Platinum Tuning in southern Tasmania, they told me this is pretty normal for the aeroflow turbos and I'd get much better response from the pulsar

I'm running an aeroflow 6662 with all the other bolt on supporting mods, currently running 393rwkw but I find it quite laggy, it doesn't come on boost till around 3800rpm, my mate has the pulsar gtx3584 and really likes it, comes on about 1000rpm earlier, I've only been running the aeroflow for about 3000kms but I'm definitely not happy with it and will be changing it up as soon as funds are good enough to do so

I'm doing boundary pump gears and backing plate so was going to upgrade to HD timing chain whilst its open, I'm burning through the cash as anyone who's worked on a barra can understand and dont see the point in upgrading to unnecessarily heavy duty parts if they arnt needed

With the HD Timing chain kits, empire elite have 3 options, street, elite pro and elite, would the street kit be sufficient enough for around 400-450rwkw? Is the elite pro and elite just for massive power?

At what point do I need to upgrade the internals ie. HD timing chain kit, oil pump gears, headstuds? I'm about to upgrade my FGXR6T, mods are as follows, walbro 460l fuel pump, Bosch 1000cc injectors, atomic valve springs, Aeroflow gtx3582, plamaman 1000hp cooler, mackilec TSI, HF cat, has an xforce exhaust (not sure on size yet) and 4" dump, I'm wanting to push 400rwkw, problem is funds are getting low and probably could only afford the labor and tune costs atm, what sort of power would be safe until I could afford the other engine work? It's currently running 277rwkw with the standard turbo and the walbro, exhaust and HF cat

What are peoples thoughts on the plazmaman intake manifold on an FG XR6T, worthwhile component or very unnecessary? Are there many gains to be had with upgraded injectors, fuel pump, cooler and turbo?

Sent you a PM jeturbo

Thanks for the advice, I just noticed Zac Baldy is using the precision 6235 in his FG so I might look into them, cheers

Can you speak on the precision turbo at all? I've never heard of them and Golebys and empire elite don't seem to stock them, I was also recommended the new aeroflow by my mechanic but im a bit unsure of them also

I love the quick spool on the standard turbo, plenty of punch down low so the gtx3576r is probably my best bet if I can still push over 400rwkw but its more expensive than the gtx3582r, is the 3582 that much laggier?

Isn't the standard turbo a 3576?

I've been told the ZF will be fine if I treat it right, no hard downshifts and don't thrash it constantly, has an aftermarket cooler also
