Any other mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 12y 8m 1d Posted 13/11/12 05:42 PM Share Posted 13/11/12 05:42 PM I have this problem too on my FG XR6 Turbo with 9000km. Not horrible but you can definately feel a misfiring type of stutter randomly every now and then.... even when warm.My dealer says all FG Turbo's do it, doesn't seem to be the smoothest idling car I can say.I talked to some performance shops and they agreed and that it also could be made to idle smoother by doing some tuning.

Had everything checked all perfect but he said fgs arent the best when at idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 12y 8m 1d Posted 14/11/12 04:50 AM Share Posted 14/11/12 04:50 AM How many KM did yours have on it mate?I wonder if any places in Perth can offer a service just to Re-Tune the idle areas of the map for those who just want to get their cars idling smoother.... and whether you have to purchase a completeSCT Flash Box for that or is there other ways it can be done?Pretty much if my FG Idled well I'd be happy with it for ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
