The time taken for this to occur will depend mainly on driving style and circumstances.I agree with you that you should get the tune since Nick is already working on the car, but ask for more conservative tunes in the other slots. What will happen though, is that you'll enjoy the tough tune's drivability so much, that you'll rarely take it out. And that's where the gearbox issue comes in......

Hmm, but I'd be looking at around $1200+ to strengthen the box properly, yeah? Sigh, what to do, what to do. No way I'd get approval to spend that from the Minister for Finance. How much benefit do you think I'd get from just fitting a tranny cooler?

Not problems and I definately do not baby the car.Perhaps I was lucky with a good box, but I have had no problems.RegzDean Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20872-how-are-peoples-t5s-holding-up-after-mods/page/4/#findComment-309018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
