I dun think so, I think they will just improve the handling and fuel consumption, and overall quality.about the turbo, how about twin turbo? (think of RB26DETT)←Apparently the fat pig is even fatter so it'll need 300kw to get the same performance. It'll out pork a Mercedes luxo barge.

MrBean Member 400 Member For: 18y 5m 16d Location: Melbourne Posted 06/02/07 04:00 AM Share Posted 06/02/07 04:00 AM I have to agree that having a twin-turbo on a inline 6 will be the ultimate.I had a long chat with Simon (Nizpro) about this, and he mentioned this is one thing he will still try.I would luv it, as much, much less turbo/fuel-lag, much better efficiency to be had from 2 smaller turbos than one larger one, and of course we could then avoid the dreaded surge-line area on the turbo map.Ah, how nice that would be. But, the downside is more complex piping, manifolds etc.Soz for off-topic, just sharing my ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use one small and one large turbo in line. This gives a bigger boost range. The smaller turbo spools up lower down and provides almost supercharger type grunt right off the bottom. This in turn feeds into the bigger turbo (which would require much higher revs to get on boost on it's own). This gives more boost through the mid range and top end.

Simply put, there just aint the market in Oz to support a family sized sport sedan with the sophistication of a TT setup.There simply is no reason for Ford to even think about it when the current set-up is so well performed and sold.This particular plane will not get off the ground.Just like the other famous one........
