revhead_71 Member 83 Member For: 17y 4m 2d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 19/03/09 12:06 PM Share Posted 19/03/09 12:06 PM Im interested to find out peoples personal opinion (whether you are someone who has upgraded or not) on what you believe are the top 5 improvements of the FG F6 over the BF F6 Typhoon MkII and conversely what are the top 5 things where they have gone backwards in going from BF to FG. below is my opinion:Improvements 1) Power/Acceleration2) Better fuel economy3) Ipod/Bluetooth/Reverse parking system integration standard4) FPV branding rather than Ford branding(except they forgot the steering wheel)5) Dynamic Stability ControlBackwards1) Styling - Bf looks more muscly / tough2) Turbo Boost gauge in center of the console makes Bf look tough3) Dropping of the Typhoon name....it has a reputation so keep it.4) Delivery of boost more exciting in Bf because of the slight lag.5) Tyres have been kept the same! F*me more power so now even less traction. FPV shove some 265/275 at the rear!Remember this is your personal opinion so what might seem backwards for someone looks like an improvement for someone else. Interested in people's experience/opinion.Cheers,Alex Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/55871-bf-f6-typhoon-mkii-vs-fg-f6/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterA Member 52 Member For: 17y 8m 23d Posted 29/04/09 01:02 AM Share Posted 29/04/09 01:02 AM Just wondering if the FG XR6T has the same internals as the Typhoon (BFS2 Phoon or 06/06 XR6T)I know that the turbos are different but if the engine has the same internals im assuming it would be a better starting platform for doing mods Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/55871-bf-f6-typhoon-mkii-vs-fg-f6/#findComment-869371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
