I own a fg xr6t ute got 50000kms on the clock been flashed and bov other then that its stock as it has got older ive noticed on idle it runs rough cuts in and out, its not a smooth idle and is worse when it's cold. As for driving if I put the foot down from 60km to bout 120km feels rough as and struggling for power but either side of those speeds it feels fine smooth. Can anyone please tell me what could be causing this or would the best way to find out to put it on a dyno?

Scaling doesn't change for a cold start.

It could be a multitude of issues. I would start with the usual suspects reflash it, (fuel filter & plugs) if that doesn't sort it take it to somebody with the knowledge and gear to properly diagnose it.

Or better yet, do that first to save throwing parts at the car that may not solve the issue.

Also its probably your diff bush.
