The BA will feel a lot stronger down low but will run out of puff up in the top end and are maxed out at 320 which is also staring to strain the BA bottom end. So it may be a pretty good match.

The stronger bottom end with the smaller turbo will kill your 5 speed Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79880-swaping-turboss/#findComment-1227241 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a guy on Facebook telling me his mechanic is running 375rwkw through a 5 speed BA and the BA 5speed he was selling is capable of 350 but only running 280 ATM. Made me laugh.Also keep in mind that swapping the turbos means both cars will need to be custom tuned.

orangeute338 Suspended 260 Member For: 16y 8m 25d Gender: Male Posted 25/04/12 01:38 PM Share Posted 25/04/12 01:38 PM if you are gona spend money on it to do gearbox conversion and other mods then the larger turbo will be better at the end of the day because you will most likely do more mods, but in saying that you might want even more power and end up changing turbos anyways. theres alot to consider but if it was me I would swap turbos, for stock tune you will be getting boost sooner and a newer turbo aswell. 250-300kw with smaller turbo will feel quicker then same power with ba/bf turbs Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79880-swaping-turboss/#findComment-1227270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
