That turbo power is addictive Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71983-fg-turbo/#findComment-1060637 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive only had mine for close to 15000k and nothing so far has gone wrong with it and I started modding at the 5k mark. Ford servicing up here is crap and customer service is pretty average. Apart from that though.... Enjoy Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71983-fg-turbo/#findComment-1060728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
