snakeoilstu Member 26 Member For: 16y 4m 11d Gender: Male Location: Upper Hutt NZ Posted 28/06/10 02:30 AM Share Posted 28/06/10 02:30 AM I am looking to upgrade my NA FG to a T. Have been told by someone that ford diffs can't take the turbo load. when I tried to trace the source of this rumor it appears to realte to an earlier model Borg Warner diff used well prior to the FG line up. Have had no problems with mine which has now got 50k on the clock and has pulled some heavy loads but is only a NA. Any other experiences ??

(this from an independant mechanic), casuing diff noise. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/69059-diff-problems/#findComment-1019750 Share on other sites More sharing options...
