proscott Member 7 Member For: 14y 2m 28d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane (Redlands) Posted 13/09/10 06:35 AM Share Posted 13/09/10 06:35 AM Hey all, This is my first new topic, I hope its in the right spot. Question I have is where do you get your cars serviced / tuned? I have a 03 XR6T with 130,000kms just bought it from some nice folks out Toowoomba way.It already gets 404rwhp but its doing some strange things, (like miss fireing after a boost when held in gear then booted again, it goes cough cough chugg, then Vrrmmmm. its like the traction control is on, but it's not)I want to take it to someone in brisbane to do a good value service and who really knows XR6 Turbos, I'm not scared to spend money, but I dont want to get ripped off...Also I've got a few more mods I would like to add to her yet What are your thoughts?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James was telling me that the oil lines on the Xr6T to and from the turbo clog up easily, and quoted $160 to replace the lines with braided pipes and the serviceable oil filter in the turbo lines.... or something like that... James also seemed to think the 'cough cough chug' problem is probably the coils.I will let you know how it goes Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
