The standard T exhaust flows very well and can handle big horsepower but I dont think the standard exhaust can handle 500rwkwAn easy and cheap way is to get a pipe, weld flanges on either end and then the heat shield over it so it looks like a cat, highest flowing cat available Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/35277-xr6-turbo-gearbox/page/2/#findComment-537128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tuner is ESP Racing in the ACT, well Queanbeyan which is next to the ACT, im having some trouble with the tune at the moment, they cant get it over 287 atw, they cant figure out whats restricting it, the dyno chart is climbing very very well & then suddenly hits a brick wall & stays completely flat.If you guys have any suggestions please let me know!

Bruce Lee Member 15 Member For: 18y 1m 19d Gender: Male Posted 27/05/07 11:01 AM Author Share Posted 27/05/07 11:01 AM (edited) Also the actuator isn't allowing the turbo to hold more than 11psi if that's any helpESP assured me that it will hit around 330kw atw due to previous T's getting similar output with similar mods.They also told me that the BF T's have the Typhoon engine, is this true? I know its only the valves & conrods that are stronger.
