TurboBart Member 25 Member For: 16y 4m 9d Gender: Male Location: Perth WA Posted 13/06/09 01:20 PM Share Posted 13/06/09 01:20 PM hi guys.Got an 04 BA XR6 t which the wife drives around mostly as I do fly in fly out work. Im wanting to get a little more poke out of her for when Im home as was wondering if there was much point just buying the capa box and using the generic tune that comes with??The car is due for a service so was thinking I could also book it in somewhere in perth and get a proper tune at the same time if the generic tune is a waste of time... What ya think?? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/58540-family-car-performance/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generic tunes are dodgy, known to misfire no tuner will support generic tunes.

Depends which shop you go to as well, some 'generic' tunes are less generic than others, and they're the better for it (usually backed off a bit to keep it safer)....It'll tighten her up a bit and give her noticeably more poke. The BA in stock trim is a little 'subtle' Im sure you'd agree.Then wait a bit til you're convinced and get the custom tune.

Not a waste of time in my opinion. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/58540-family-car-performance/#findComment-890570 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as everybody around here goes on about hitting the 300rwkw mark a T with 250ish rwkw (ie tune only) is still a f*cking quick car!Is it worth risking it on a generic tune? no! do it once and do it properly!

Then you'll have to get just a tune done or if you get the injectors etc you'll need a custom tune that makes about stock power.Talk to Simon from Xtreme Ford Tuning for all your needs.
