justkrusin Member 52 Member For: 16y 5m 1d Gender: Male Location: Geelong Area Posted 13/09/12 11:46 AM Share Posted 13/09/12 11:46 AM I Have just replaced the turbo on my FG It had done 28000klm was very noisy..whining..car has been tuned with exhaust and XR8 airbox..made 285rwkw..boosting to 18 psi The turbo was noisy before tune, but got progressively worse. The turbo was replaced with the bigger F6 turbo..has not been dynoed since, but the caris a different beast now..Before was hard to get off line hard without wheelspin..now boost comeson higher in rev range....but pulls harder and longer..like a train..avg economy is 11.1 ltrs per 100.I dont know if it will make more power, but it feels better...more driveable Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80322-turbo-life/page/2/#findComment-1294476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizlak Member 35 Member For: 12y 10m 10d Posted 19/09/12 12:04 PM Share Posted 19/09/12 12:04 PM I found 3 chips out of the nut on the front of the impella wheel today on my BA f6. Do you think this means it's dead? It's got just over 101 000 on the clock Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80322-turbo-life/page/2/#findComment-1297347 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got just over 101 000 on the clockThey aren't chips they are portions of the nut that have been machined away to aid in balancing the turbo assembly.3:24 onwards...

Sizlak Member 35 Member For: 12y 10m 10d Posted 21/09/12 11:50 AM Share Posted 21/09/12 11:50 AM Yeah it makes boost and spins freely. Just sus on this fairly loud howling sound once it's over 3500rpm. Also thanks Ralph.
