Also there is a restrictor on the fg in the pipe above the air cleaner. Rip that out! No tune necessary mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an 07 xr6T and was wondering if you had to tune these turbo'd jobs after any sorta mod, e.g. air intake or any other basic bolt on mod?

Some guys get away with no tune for certian mods and others dont. Basic mods like air intake is not necessary but things like injectors or wasregates or hot / cold side piping then yes ull need to tune. Most people generally wait and do a heap of mods at once to avoid lots of dyno costs so a basic start would be injectors fuel pump wastegate actuator intercooler and intercooler piping/plenum. Tuned at tge same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there is a restrictor on the fg in the pipe above the air cleaner. Rip that out! No tune necessary mate.Why would Ford put that restrictor in only for someone to take it out? I would have though this restrictor would increase the speed at which the air enters the manifold resulting in better torque for cars without forced induction. Thoughts???

Posted 17/06/13 11:24 AM Share Posted 17/06/13 11:24 AM I went with the SS kit including the Big Mouth c.a.I. and im really happy with the results.. better performance, economy and that noise.I actually had afew people stop at the lights and ask me if I was driving a turbo on my Ps hahahaBut it is more expensive so its up to you.I went for the SS kit because being a P-Plater you are likely to be pulled up and inspected, and a massive hole in your intake will surely get you a nice yellow sticker and a trip down to VicRoads/EPA.The SS kit (if you take the stickers off) will atleast look more standard and provide a better flow of COLD air flow directly from the grille of the car.But in the end of the day it is up to you.

Its bs. Unless your going to tune, don't waste yore time doing intake mods. Save your money, and get a tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
