Plenty of guys running over 400rwkw on standard BF and FG motors with just upgraded valve springs.

fair enough, just thought the 400+kw guys were usually in an FG F6, not FG turbo motor.

Many FG turbo motors gone bang with 400+ ?

The F6s are a stronger engine but the XR6t engine are still good for plenty of power. mine only made 405 on 98, threw in e85 and used the same boost and 450+kw.

I'm sure some FG XR6ts have gone boom at even less than 400, I think a lot comes down to the tuner though. I don't expect mine to last forever, but it will probably last longer than it would have on 98 fuel.

Yeah tailshaft and all the joints are upgraded, only part that wasn't was the spline or whatever it is that goes into the diff.

The ZF will eventually require a rebuild, though they reckon it should last quite a while on street tyres now that it has been returned to exactly how it came out the factory.

The diff bushes finally crapped themselves last night as well, so will go and get them replaced under warranty but using nolathane bushes
