hypnodoc It's All In Your Mind Gold Donating Members 2,198 Member For: 21y 6m 1d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 22/03/08 02:31 AM Share Posted 22/03/08 02:31 AM (edited) I have had 3 Phoons and modded them all. Nothing has ever broken, although I don't try to do 10 sec quarter miles. The chances of something breaking are very minimal if you use the right tuner and get quality parts. There have been countless XR6 turbos heavily modded with very few problems. You know the old adage guys "WHEN IN DOUBT JUST DO IT" Unless you intend to thrash the guts out of the car you will be fine. They are much more more fun with 280+ RWKW Edited 22/03/08 10:01 AM by Dagabond Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43811-newbie-from-gtp-to-r-spec/#findComment-648952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
