I have that work done to my turbo as rapid mentioned plus a nicely ported rear housing, and I have gone to a built motor with larger turbo etc yet again... lucky for you I am selling mine, only has done 7500km since it got built. the price will be cheaper than getting a new one or doing the work to yours as well.sending pm now Edited 27/05/10 02:35 AM by djkice Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68338-turbo-upgrade/page/2/#findComment-1011102 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 27/05/10 02:00 PM Share Posted 27/05/10 02:00 PM larger wheel.7 cover lags spools up slower imo.5 cover has much power in it anyway no need to upgrade for the extra 10rwkw which youd get from the cover :/ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68338-turbo-upgrade/page/2/#findComment-1011259 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 28/05/10 04:19 AM Share Posted 28/05/10 04:19 AM nice pickup on his part indeed the work which is done to it is excess of what I sold the complete turbo for.which means he still has his stock one intact and could probably sell of and regain what he picked mine up for?? not sure or close to it.

Posted 28/05/10 12:21 PM Share Posted 28/05/10 12:21 PM yeah fg housing is way better... less prone to cracking.also be carefull how they port it because I had issues... I have actually been threw 3 rear fg housings to finally get porting rightneeds to be ported right hand side and up... not just enlarge hole but angle for exhaust gasses to flow, upgraded flap is good... 38mm is ideal size.was very costly getting it right :/ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68338-turbo-upgrade/page/2/#findComment-1011484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
