our06t Mmmmm......BOOST Member 3,135 Member For: 18y 3d Gender: Male Location: central coast Posted 14/08/07 08:04 PM Share Posted 14/08/07 08:04 PM maybe it is something different with yours but I would bet money its your auto causing the problem ,and yes I first thought it was the waste gate to ,like I said I tried everything to fix mine even a new set of coils , but it all came back to the trans ,it is the bov dumping boost because the comp shuts the engine down for that split second which closes your throttle try giving blacktrack a call I dont want to give away all justins methods of tuning but he might be happy to talk to you about it 0249661235might have trouble gettin hold of him he's a busy boy but keep tryin Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/37446-custom-tune/#findComment-564386 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nizpro Member 89 Member For: 19y 5m 24d Gender: Male Posted 14/08/07 10:40 PM Share Posted 14/08/07 10:40 PM (edited) Hi Adz after reading your post and your signature it appears your car is a BA. If this is the case you could be experiencing torque limiting. This was a subject that we covered at length at our last tuning seminar. As pointed out about out by our06t it can give a large amount of trouble. However Justin from Blacktrack or any of the other companies that attended the last Nizpro training seminar from NSW including Tune House, BTA, UniGroup and Hills Motorsport will be able to fix this very quickly for you. It would require a retune as there are a number of other side effect's that would also have to be addressed.If you need any further assistance please phone me and I will see if we can get it sorted for you.Cheers Simon Edited 14/08/07 10:45 PM by Nizpro Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/37446-custom-tune/#findComment-564402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
