Im keen to bring out some of the power that will be available but I am a little worried that someone might lead me down the wrong path and cause some early issues.any advice or links is appreciated Thanks Guys Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81577-fg-mk2-le-2012/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MA91CK billet turbos and weathered engines dont mix Donating Members 1,346 Member For: 13y 21d Gender: Male Location: Wollongong Posted 22/08/12 09:40 AM Share Posted 22/08/12 09:40 AM ^^ I'm with Henz. Give yourself time to get used to the turbo, then start modding. Gives you time to get used to the power Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81577-fg-mk2-le-2012/#findComment-1283324 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going the suspension (lowering) pretty much straight away and leaving any engine mods for a bit.Sorry henz - Coyote Intake and intake muffler as in Coyote V8? Buy from Ford spares? What's an intake muffler? A resonator to quieten intake sound? Had Subarus with those on - first item in the bin ;^)Noob!
