Lumo's FG XR6T Member 4 Member For: 15y 1m 2d Posted 15/01/10 07:33 AM Share Posted 15/01/10 07:33 AM Hi All,I am a new FG XR6 Turbo. This is my 1st Ford and it rocks. I am a Turbo virgin and I need the expert opinions of fellow owners who have tried and tested.Please not that I am in regional VIC (Lakes Entrance) so that may effect solutions.I have a spare $1,000 to spend on starting some mods for my 2008 FG XR6T and I would like to know some suggestions on what would be the best starting point to give me the best bang for my buck to get some extra performance.The car is stock at present.I was thinking of something along the lines of KN filter/dual air intake and bigger cat. But as I said, I don't know where to start and would love some feedback.I will do further mods down the track, so bear that in mind also.Thanks Guys and Gals.

Should see you get to around 280rwkw with your car producing approx 245-250rwkw standard. Then after that look for some injectors and high flow cat. You'll need some better brakes once you get to this stage I'd say.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI!

And the injectors will not slot straight into your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
