I have an FG and have got 330 Rwkw at the moment with upgrades like intercooler, 60lb injectors, 3.5" X force exhaust and 4" intake. I am chasing for somewhere around 380-400 rwkw. The question I would like to ask is what mods would I need to the car and or turbo if say I got an BA/BF turbo and wanted to bolt it onto my car.

Not sure if I'd use a 35/40, there is probably better options out there. Might need an external waste gate and moded dump pipe if you opt for different turbo.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68338-turbo-upgrade/#findComment-1010310 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good to see.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68338-turbo-upgrade/#findComment-1010574 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping we could just change the front housing and be done with it and couldn't find much detailed info on here in regards to that.If Ray drives his car this weekend (going to the Ingham Car Show to spectate) I can put some photos of it up on here, otherwise Ray can take them but he is lazy as sh!t so dont hold your breath... aren't you Ray! lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68338-turbo-upgrade/#findComment-1010746 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need some of it. I dont think I have taken any yet except for the video's of the dyno runs. I will be taking the car up to the car show and I spose I start looking for that turbo now. Hope it just bolts pretty much straight on. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68338-turbo-upgrade/#findComment-1010789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
