XR2DI4 Member 18 Member For: 16y 8m 15d Posted 04/09/08 12:37 PM Share Posted 04/09/08 12:37 PM Hey, Im buying an XR6 turbo on my P's ive found a couple around 20k but they've done close to 100000kms I was wondering whether the turbo would still be alright? Any advice and also hows fuel consumption on these cars, how much can you expect from a full tank?Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49388-buying-an-xr6-turbo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're better on fuel after a custom tune and a little more power.What year and model are the ones you've been looking at?

After a quick look through the turbo tech section I found around 20 examples of turbo problems, mostly not related to age though.This one may scare you a bit, but don't fret.If you're looking at manuals the main worrying factor would be the gearbox.Dan Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49388-buying-an-xr6-turbo/#findComment-728659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
