XsiV Member 6 Member For: 17y 11m 1d Gender: Male Posted 11/09/07 03:11 AM Share Posted 11/09/07 03:11 AM (edited) Ive been reading many posts and come up with the following mods...InjectorsFuel Pump3" Dump Pipe and High Flow Cat - stock exhaust remains stockReplacement FMICCustom TuneIve seen many people recommending new valve springs... Whats the reason for this? If I go down the track of valve springs, would it be benefical doing the cam at the same time to reduce labour costs??P.S. I got an auto, and looking at having the gear changes shortened.

XsiV Member 6 Member For: 17y 11m 1d Gender: Male Posted 11/09/07 04:13 AM Share Posted 11/09/07 04:13 AM Ah ok! I didnt realise the stock dump pipe was 3 inch. Cool, many people have suggested that the stock exhaust flows enough and only to replace the cat with a high flow. Is this good advise?So I can look at replacing the valve springs and leaving the dump pipe stock, and with the above mods should be happy!

Yes good advise... a surge tank and 044 is much safer than just a Walbro intake Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38165-what-to-do-first/page/2/#findComment-573636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
