Guest Guests Posted 21/02/09 05:31 AM Share Posted 21/02/09 05:31 AM Don't rev it over 4000rpm until you have regapped plugs, changed your fuel filter & are running 98octane fuel to be safe. Once these have been done, throw it on a dyno to be sure everything is ok...A few hundred dollars now may save you thousands down the track :tosser: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54809-help-with-x3-tuner/page/4/#findComment-828049 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent yet cleaned the plugs yet since we needed a longer socket . But im guessing they should be right cause I only got a service in december last year and done 4k kms since.also tryed using octane booster which had no effect when flashed but I could feel some change when stock. So at the moment might wait till tommorow to call CAPA and ask them if they know. Unless anyone thinks it could be something else?
