I think it is actually a Garret GT40.

This is correct and also welcome to the forums and happy motoring.

absolutely it is a GT40, originally it was going to be a 35, but it was found to be too limp by Ford back when the XR6T was simply known as project Gull. They only got about 220kw max with the 35 and they wanted more, so, along came the 40. However, I've read that the 40 wasn't used to it's full potential, and that can be seen by only using 6psi boost.

:innocent: to the forum

thanks for the welcome.

I have heard that the factory turbo (now I know its a GT40), can easily be used at 1.0 bar instead of 0.5, with the standard XR6T setup, without modifying the intercooler.

Can anyone clarify this story? and have any comments?

And will boosting up the turbo effect warranty? (maybe a silly question, but someones gotto ask them :blink: )

has anyone attempted to wind up the GT40 turbo?

cheers,

Ron

Ron as per my signature at the bottom of my posts we run 10psi now with standard intercooler.

Uping the boost on your XR will definately void the warrenty. I don't think I'd like to run 1 bar through a standard intercooler might ping on a hot day, they are only a small cooler.
