Ryan Cameron Member 9 Member For: 13y 6m 24d Posted 26/06/12 02:59 AM Share Posted 26/06/12 02:59 AM Hey guys,I've had my BA II '05 xr6t for 6 months now, it's just hit 50k km.I have recently gotten it tuned, it also has the growler kit, it's making 240rwkw at standard boost. Everything else is stock.1. Okay first problem I am having is on cold starts, when I accelerate to >2.5k rpm, and let my foot off the accelerator it makes a bit of a quick sounding "burr" noise, definitely not turbo flutter, just curious what you guys think it is.2. I think this one is valve springs, but after a bit of a heavy footed over taking, I get home and the car seems to idle roughly for a few moments before I switch the car off, can you guys confirm this?3. Had a lot of rain the other day, and I lifted the boot and there was a sh*t load of water in the LHS tail light, any suggestions on preventing this, because it's overflowing into my boot and making it smell like a wet dog lol.Look forward to your responses .-Ryan Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80728-ba-ii-noises/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I had atomic valve springs installed, it idled perfect and smooth. What boost are you running? making 240rwkw would not be on stock boost.

Sounds like valve springs to me and as 188ite said I don't think you'd be running standard boost for that power. more like 9-10psi. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80728-ba-ii-noises/#findComment-1259379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Cameron Member 9 Member For: 13y 6m 24d Posted 26/06/12 03:08 AM Author Share Posted 26/06/12 03:08 AM It's standard boost, 5psi yeah?, family friend chucked it on their dyno and just altered the timing. I was freaking shocked by it. But he did suggest to upgrade to the heavy duty valve springs soon though as they were on their way out, so I'm guessing the previous owner had thrashed her :(.How much for atomic valve springs + installation?

Ryan Cameron Member 9 Member For: 13y 6m 24d Posted 26/06/12 04:01 AM Author Share Posted 26/06/12 04:01 AM I've done some calling around and the cheapest I can get it is $800 supplied + fitted. Everyone is charging $500 to install, fml! Damn living in Adelaide!

That is pretty much the normal supply and fit price but before you pay it, try making a post in the S.A chat thread to see if someone in Adelaide can make a recommendation for you.

Check where your boot strut attaches to the quarter panel. There is like a little knob there. Check it hasn't cracked or slightly broken off the quarter panel. On my car it had broken off possibly from opening up the bootlid too much and water can run in from there.
