Just looks sh*tBenny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even fewer would have over 330rwkw.Its most certainly the greatest point of difference when driving my FG compared to my BA which had around the same power maybe a little more.

Why would they want the Premium Model to have less drive-ability, safety and longevity? We know the smaller turbo is more then capable for 310 at the fly why not have it on the F6 too, to get all the other benifits? Don't get me wrong the smaller turbo has a huge effect on acceleration, responsiveness and all that I'm just saying if I had a choice I'd rather the bigger one.

Wingnut Member 573 Member For: 16y 5m 3d Gender: Male Posted 13/12/10 11:16 AM Share Posted 13/12/10 11:16 AM I haven't driven an FG F6 but if it's anything like my old BA trust me you don't, unless of course you are buying your car to tune it and the larger turbo is of benefit otherwise what purpose does it serve? The top end is better Ye but how often are you doing 100km/h let alone 100mp/h where the difference between the 2 becomes more apparent. I guess my FG drives mire like my old Bogan special than the BA if that even makes sense just due to how responsive it is down low and I really like driving it because of that.

Generally alloy doesnt fracture or crack over time, plastic sure does, especially when its associated with heat cycling.Im also wondering if a all alloy cooler would be more efficient than a plastic end tanked one? Plastic generally doesnt transfer heat near as well as alloy does???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say ford would have done extensive testing but I myself would rather have all alloy cooler. With black plastic tanks they should paint the whole cooler black.
