Now I know that any bf xr6 turbo built after 06/06 is better even if its still a mk1. Is it only because of the typhoon internals? What exactly does it have over pre 06/06 models? Is there really much of a difference? Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if Im wrong. Further, these engines have stronger pistons than FG also.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there is probably no point in me buying a pre 06/06 model??? I found a bf turbo I want to buy but its a 06 model. It has everything I want in it, Just not sure on the month. Other then the parts being stronger. Is there much difference in the price? Or are they worth upgrading? Im wanting to be pushing 350-400 rwkw. Other then that its still a 6 speed zf box.

I want to run about a 11 down the quarter. What sort of power would I see with 60 pound injectors, fuel pump, 4" dump, 4-5" cat, twin 2.5" exhaust and a tune???? that's what I want to mainly do. Then just have a all round awesome car. But I dont want to buy something I cant really do up for fear of stuff breaking =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
