Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 19y 1m 11d Posted 29/09/06 10:11 AM Share Posted 29/09/06 10:11 AM Ok im told by a source at FoMoCo that in the future the turbos on our beloved cars will be downsized due to the fact that ford are sick of the warrenty claims associated with people modiying the cars and making extra power ect. Told that the smaller turbos will only allow the motor to produce 300kw at the motor. Can anyone confirm this for me at all Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/28911-fomoco-to-use-smaller-turbos/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bean counters have obviously figured out they can do the same with less.

Why wouldnt someone just put a different turbo from a BA/BF onto it?Just doesnt all add up to me Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/28911-fomoco-to-use-smaller-turbos/#findComment-442665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
