No more chirping into 2nd. No losing traction when spoolingup on an uneven surface. No getting sucked back into the seat. It feels like drivign a N/A....

Turbo777 Member 19 Member For: 17y 11m Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 30/03/08 05:02 AM Share Posted 30/03/08 05:02 AM Well on the thursday before good friday I recieved my CAPA flash tuner with the generic tunes. Went outside, plugged her in, went for a spin. F*&^ ME!!!! What a difference 10psi makes!!!! I was then off to the Grampians camping for 4 days so got to give it some stick up the steep winding hills. I knew the turbos were a good car but now I really appreciate her. She handles so smoothly around the tight corners and by crikey she pulls up a steep a hill like its a flat track!!! And I had 4 people in the car. The turbo sound now is like a jet engine winding up on the runway. It scared the hell out of everyone. All I have is the K&N airfilter and the generic tune and im more than impressed. I can only imagine the feeling some of you guys are getting from your supremely powered turbos. Now my warranty is effectively gone should anything go wrong but its worth it atm (till something breaks :()Just took mates 6 month old XR8 with $5000 Herrod dual pipes and its a sluggish wombat in comparison. $600 later and he can't touch me. I really don't want to go back to the factory tune at any stage that's for sure!!!One question, my boost gauge says around 0.9 Bar when I put the loud pedal down. I checked it out and that equates to about 13psi not 10psi. Is this normal?

XRPete Member 673 Member For: 17y 8m 4d Gender: Male Location: Here Posted 30/03/08 05:05 AM Share Posted 30/03/08 05:05 AM sounds like overboost. Its normal for the generic tunes but its not real good for your engine etc. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43983-back-to-factory-tune/#findComment-652171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
