I have a FG XR6T in Very Good Condition and feel the same way as you. My Car Totally stock drove nice, had good low end pull, nice midrange and I thought I could improve on that and make the car really really fast. Dyno Sheets from the tuner show the car is making more power, but how it drives on the road does not feel like 300+rwkw.


After Spending $4300 on Top Brands, Tuning, Bigger Intercoolers, Injectors, doing everything by the books and going the most expensive gear,

it does not feel like a totally different car, and it doesn't pull. At times I feel like I'm driving a stock car almost just like you sort of mentioned. Huge Letdown. All my tunes were "custom" aswell.


It's no doubt faster, but not $4000 Faster. If I were to do it all again, I would not waste my time or money, leave the car stock or just do a tune only and leave it at that.


If you want the car to go fast, put a larger turbo on it and then do all the Supporting Mods but don't bother spending more money on it otherwise.
