Guest Al@n Guests Posted 12/06/10 08:14 AM Share Posted 12/06/10 08:14 AM Hi All, my question is what mod's can be effectively done without a custom tune. So in principal for those among us that are aware that ford can identify a tune (diagosntically) what can we do to pick up some power and efficency without compromising warranty. Although, this is a proposition that would help people that are not financially endowelled, or not prepared to risk a warrantee. Therfore this is not an opportunity to express views other than the question. It may be an opportunity for tuners/sellers to express a view but that only. In conclusion this is a question for those that want to spend addition income on non-warranty voiding goods at least. It is a tough one but I feel this is a question that involves the majority, therefore it becomes an excellent opprtunity for the right Company.The posed question is somewhat debatable, but I feel that there is a market that wants DIY or similar. Not all and I would argue that most people are happy to do upgrades that are not going to place their waranties at risk. So I will make the massive statement that this is a market that you can utilise? Therefore who wants to create a new ( or just promote) market that will be patronised.

This is of course a smart decision when you are offering a warranty. They didn't want to see something happen like when Subaru started selling there WRX's and everyone came back in trying to claim component failures due to after market mods.There's just simply not much that can be done to the Fords where the car will not know and either stop the fun or log trouble codes for your dealer to read.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68739-when-do-you-need-to-tune/#findComment-1015510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 5m 8d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 13/06/10 06:12 AM Share Posted 13/06/10 06:12 AM I've just had a new turbo cleared under warranty (had 5 days left of it too) and I had fitted an F6 intake snorkel to my stock air box as well as a K&N.Have heard the oiled filters like the K&N have been blamed for sensors in the intake fouling though (whichever ones they are, air flow I assume).

How many sensors are in the intake/throttle section and could theoretically get oiled up?
