I saw your car today and it's looking good... 3 times the power of mine... but we all have to start somewhere...Jack Go as easy as you want but the T5 is as good as gone,trust me.Don't stuff around start getting a quote of Mal he will give you the right ratio's to suit your diff.Muzza.

I have gearbox whine already, and I dont even belt my car or drive it overly hard! I don't let it labour either. My Kpa sits around 190. And reading off my boost gauge, has around 13.5 to 14 psi.Great result there mate!! With all my mods, my car managed 260rwkw (dyno reads a little low too), however my spark plugs were breaking down under load! been gapped to .75 now, and the edit box is back with Simon to tweak it some more!! Can't wait!Again, great results! I can totally understand where you are coming from, its the best ever feeling! especially when you break traction at 3000rpm in first and second gear and leave the HSVs for dead! Just respect it.... I've had a couple of instances now where the car has decided to try and let go when I have given a little boot... and that's in the dry!! Great to see another happy driver Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24433-my-car-was-edited-today/page/5/#findComment-366083 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initally I was thinking about an edit and custom tune like your self but was thinking of keeping boost down around 10psi or below and aiming for a 40rwkw improvement over stock on 95 ron (if that's achievable???????). Only other mods I was thinking were trans cooler and CAI with the aim of looking after the engine and driveline rather than chasing outright power. But hearing stories of stock T's chucking rods has me worried plus the fact I'll be throwing away 32 months warranty. I just got back from a holiday in Queensland so I'm outa cash at the minute anyway. I'll proably wait till the car's 12 months old and has "worn in" a bit to see if any issues arise the re asses things. What was your initial aim when you went into this? I mean did you let them drag as much power out of it as they safely could or did you give them guidelines you wanted them to stick with in relation to boost, AFR's ect?

Jack ←Jack,It sounds like you are on the right track with your thinking there, safe and conservative will help things last in the long run. You may loose a small amount of power but the reliability that you gain in return is worth it.At the end of the day some tuners claim this or that power figure, but its the drivability and reliability that matters to people who love their cars and want a nice daily driver.Congratulations on your result and keep us informed on your next stages down the modification path.Cheers,Kris Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24433-my-car-was-edited-today/page/5/#findComment-374817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
