handon Member 16 Member For: 13y 11m 4d Posted 14/08/12 03:52 AM Share Posted 14/08/12 03:52 AM Had my fg xr6t manual tuned on fri. Made 296rwkw with injectors growler pipe kit and hi flo cat. Anyone know what sort of torque would now be making. The tuner said he would give me torque graph but didn't. After he got my money he really didn't want to help much at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have come out with 700nm or so (Which is about what most get) others have like 800, 900 + with 300rwkw. Did he give you any print outs at all?Also do you know what boost your running because id say that'll make a difference too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handon Member 16 Member For: 13y 11m 4d Posted 14/08/12 04:13 AM Author Share Posted 14/08/12 04:13 AM Yeh got power printout. He said would run 18 psi when I was organizing the work. When I picked up the car was late in the day he sorta pushed me out the door. I've sent some emails but haven't heard back as yet.The car is a beast now though I'm very happy with performance although does have traction issues!! Especially in the cold nights , makes for good fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of guys are getting 300rwkw with 16 or less and same mods. Scan your power print out if you can for some of the guys who know a bit more and then can check it out. I think most power graphs have torque on there aswell?Congrats though on the new found power!Ps on a side note did you tuner recommend a new cooler or at least cooler pipes with the tune because I heard the FG cooler pipes can't handle that kind of pressure and crack.

Just a bit annoyed at the customer service but it goes well so can't complain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people recieve over the top torque readings and actually believe them haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
