Cort500 Member 157 Member For: 16y 3m 25d Gender: Male Location: Ipswich Posted 29/03/09 06:29 AM Share Posted 29/03/09 06:29 AM I know its a very basic mod but I just installed an SS Growler. Took it for a 30min drive and did 1/4 tank in fuel and about 20000klms off my rears. Made a great difference, stalled it up a bit in first then just let the brake off and launched it and had nothing but wheel spin and some fun sideways action. Had my friend in the car that has a 07 BF GT with same mod and he could not believe how well the T goes.........now all I need is injectors, flash tune and exhaust and intercooler and I will be set. Just a quick question...if I get some bosch 968 42lb's, can I install them and just drive away? Will they work strait up or need a tune strait away?My plan was to fit them and then go strait to exhaust shop and then strait to a tuner......I know that you can drive them hard otherwise they over boost but will a drive of about 50klms be ok if I am easy on it?

Have the tuner fit them when you're there, or do it in the carpark outside if you wish.

He uses Chip torque for his tuning.....(maybe can of worms) has anyone heard of anything about them? I know they have been round for years and years and I have many friends who have used them for all diff applications but anyone on here used them?

Nothing 'wrong' with Chiptorque, it's just been proven that the Xcal units are better.

I jumped on the CT site and they had this quoteChipTorque's XFlash2 utilises the newest product from SCT to deliver greater reliability, faster reflashing time and easier usability. The XFlash2 is supplied with ChipTorque's quality custom performance programs to enhance a wide range of vehicle modifications. This product will hold up to three aftermarket tunes to allow you to alternate your vehicle's program to suit different fuel types and driving conditions.Not trying to advertise or anything I redally dont know anyone or thing. Is that what you mean though? software? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/56169-just-installed-ss-growler/#findComment-851551 Share on other sites More sharing options...

With what you have planned, the stock one is probably going to let you down, or at the least be a bottle neck. Scotty will supply and fit it for you.
