ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 21d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 26/03/08 12:01 AM Share Posted 26/03/08 12:01 AM Whats the difference between ba and bf, ive seen 05 ba's and 05 bf's? The ZF 6speed auto was released in the BF. The BF was released at the end of '05. Most of the changes were cosmetic.difference between Mk1 and mk2 and are some not Mk at all lol? BAMk1 > BAMk2 was 6 speed manual gearbox. BFMk1 >Mk2 was cosmetic. The BF's generally have better build quality and less problems.Also what are some important things to look for when purchasing a turbo, or is it best to get a mechanic to check it out, I dont want a lemon :( ? It is always best to have it checked out properly.Also is it best to buy un moded as I dont wanna void the warranty? If you buy a new enough car to still have factory warranty, then yes, but if you plan to mod it, then you can save a heap of $$'s buy buying a already modded car.You may be a biit short to buy a low km BF ute as they seem to hold their value better than the sedans Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43909-all-your-wealth-of-knowledge-please/#findComment-650482 Share on other sites More sharing options...

arronm Dropping a turd Gold Donating Members 9,520 Member For: 17y 6m 8d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 26/03/08 10:17 AM Share Posted 26/03/08 10:17 AM which ever way you go make sure you get a 6 speed. The lower Km the better. These turbos dont like long intervals between oil changes. can damage the turbo. Try and find one that's not modded. With high boost my oil is chocolate after 3000.
