[Warpster]

Hey all, just joined up after purchasing my first ford its a 04 ba xr6 turbo mkII ute, just wondering what mods I should get for some more power? I was thinking exhaust, boost gauge, intercooler and tune? what sort of power what this be making me? any help would be appreciated

cheers Roh

Not sure how much power a boost guage would be good for.

I'd probably go something along the lines of Injectors, Cooler & Tune. Dump & Cat too if you got enough. Plenty of site sponsors with enough gear to keep you going for a long time.

Hope your enjoying your car

I'd be looking into getting some decent brakes and probably some shocks if they haven't already been changed - the car is 6 years old remember!

Check your oil billet cap - if it's the original Ford OEM one - check to see if the thread is about to perish or even still there :o

I got a real shock when I went to check the oil on my BA 2004 and the cap just lifted straight off - no screwing at all

For less than $20 - it can save you a lot of time and money fishing out bits of plastic thread from the innards of your engine like me!

I've bought myself a CPC alloy one now - don't want to ever go though that again. Here's my story on this!

And like senna-T says - brake shudder is an affliction you may soon experience if you still have the Ford OEM rotors and pads setup on your BA. The very first mod I did was change over to dba 4000 slotted rotors and RaceBrake RB24 for less than $500 to do the front brake combo (that's the source of the brake shudder). Here's my storyon brake shudder!
