Just got back from speaking with Brett at Monsta torque.

Glad I did, he spent time talking me thru some options and showing me what they would be doing.

Going in Tuesday for a Process West Stage 2 Intercooler, ported wastegate and a full retune.

Pretty sure this will give me what I'm after, totally safe tune, no boost spiking, no heat soaking issues. Smooth linear power so I can look after the drive chain.

Hopefully I can be satisfied with this and I can end it here.

:roflmbo: Famous last words you'll be back again for 'that little bit extra' soon enough.

Monsta Torque & XFT have the best name for tuning the Ford turbos in WA - don't go anywhere else if you value your car. XFT I can recommend from experience & I've never heard anything but good about Monsta.

I thought I'd try Monsta from all the write ups on here.

Needed to help with my intake temps with a cooler and my boost was spiking a little. Wasn't entirely happy with my original tuner so the beauty of these SCT xcal3 flash tuners I can go somewhere else if I want.

Brett showed me the gear they would be fitting, how and why it will work and sample dyno sheets. There was no pressure just good honest information and the choice was all mine.

I guess I have lived and learned but that's the mod game. Just cost $$$.

I want to protect my investment, car is still new and I want it to be a reliable daily driver.

Tune looks good as is. Boost isn't over the top at all and it's smooth and not spiking. They have put a bit more in down low to give it some poke, that's not spiking if you ask me. AFR's are flat and on the safe side. Personally I wouldn't bother going to the effort of pulling the turbo off to port the gate. I'd be putting on the bigger BA/BF/F6 turbo, together with a ported gate if you want bang for your buck. I think it will come out not feeling a whole lot different. Get the ZF tuned while you're at it.......

I'm particularly worried about the input temps for here in summer, been advised the later FG intercooler with the plastic ends isn't much good over 12psi. And with the auto also prone to cause spikes I'd rather be overly cautious now.

It does go well now but have the $$$ now to add a cooler so just doing while I can.

Why don't you use your xcal3 to datalog intake temps and boost on gearchanges? Free software and anyone can do it. Will give you a good idea on what's happening now and what happens after your next mods. Data talks not a bunch of bumkins on a forum.

Just went for a run with my Scangauge 2 hooked up and monitered the MAP, inlet temp, water temp and timing. I'm not totally sure what all the values should read, but cruising at 50-60 in 5th MAP was reading around 5psi(when to 12-15psi under medium acceleration coming out of corners), inlet 30deg, water 82deg and timing changing quite a bit. Now several times when I floored it, like kicked it down from 60km the Map reading consistently went to 18-20psi even saw 22psi.

Does anyone know how the Scangauge reads data from the FG, is the MAP reading true indication of my boost? I'm concerned if it is.

Th inlet/water temps I think read true. Not sure what I should see with the timing.

Any help thanks in advance.
