WARNING!! never ask here if it's worth getting a turbo timer!I always have the traction control on as it does come in handy sometimes when you least expect it and I turn it off when I want some fun. With regards to mods, 300 is the new 250 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/45488-little-advice-for-a-newbie-turbo-owner/page/2/#findComment-675556 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was sooooo stoked, couldnt stop grinning And I had to wait for mine for 3 months to be delivered from the factory!I had mine custom tuned at about 2000km on the clock, up to about 240rwkw with nothing more than the F6 cold air intake and K&N filter. You should definately have no reliability problems with those mods and the power increase is quite nice I guarantee it wont be the end though... you'll get the bug like the rest of us Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/45488-little-advice-for-a-newbie-turbo-owner/page/2/#findComment-675771 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mic Donating Members 1,725 Member For: 17y 4m 19d Gender: Male Posted 14/05/08 07:39 AM Share Posted 14/05/08 07:39 AM Welcome mate ! I always warm up for about 5 mins or if not I just drive real slow 4 10 mins. And always warm down 4 5 - 10 mins. I always drive with t/c off also. Just get a custom tune dude and you will be happy trust me. The difference that it makes from standard is amazing. RSK I think t/c sends a shudder through the driveline when wheels spin.
