I have just purchased a 08 F6 ute and keen to start modifying it already.Seems to be lot of info about the type of mods im considering but to many options of parts to use.Im considering the following as a start.PWR stepped cooler because price and fittmentAlloy replacement piping. Not sure of brand Herrod, Plasmaman, coolerworx?4 inch Xforce dump and exhaust again because of good priceSS Growler intakeX3 flash tune and maybe the ZF tune by either C&V or Tunehouse as both have good repsIm assuming this should get me easy 320-330rwkw but will these mods support 400rwkw when I decide to go further with more mods?Any help would be great or any other suggestions.

You might want to go a bigger cooler though, saves doing it laterSent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78349-fg-f6-ute-mods-questions/#findComment-1175537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRO62S Member 11 Member For: 13y 3m 26d Posted 31/12/11 04:19 PM Author Share Posted 31/12/11 04:19 PM Ok cool. I realise turbine housing, injectors and valve springs would be the next mods to get it to the 400rwkw mark was wondering if the PWR cooler would support this level of power as PWR rates it at over 400rwkw but from all I've read on here people are not to sure about it. Just a little confused.I prefer to use PWR as I've used their products before and like them plus added bonus of no hacking up the car.

I went with the process west stage 2 kit. That involved cutting out the section of plastic where the pwr steps in and a very small amount of metal trimming at the bottom.Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78349-fg-f6-ute-mods-questions/#findComment-1175550 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont need much of an excuse to can you these days.

And you'd think that the intercooler would give it more structural strength than the plastic?
