ratter Member 6,793 Member For: 18y 6m Gender: Male Location: @ my laptop Posted 01/05/12 01:53 AM Share Posted 01/05/12 01:53 AM Has your tuner had much experience with XR6T's? Genuine question, not trying to be smart at all.Many people that have tuned older style ECU's get a bit confused on these later ecu's as lots of areas can affect other areas and torque management can play havoc if figures are set incorrectly etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can unlock them to use on project cars. From memory its a matter of disabling the ford anti theft feature or something similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish you were in sydney would come straight to you because I know how much knowledge you have on these cars. Other then that, before any serious damage happens to my car, I will be taking my car to Tunehouse which are known to be really good tuners with these cars.Thanks for your help Ratter.
