Around the 300rwkw mark max. He did say if you want more you have to change it.He did say it slows down the air flow into the turbo though. Im assuming because the engine acts as a pump (as well as the turbo) the air has less distance to travel through the intake piping and therefore has less time to accelerate before hitting the turbo. This is my noob guess and may only apply whilst car is travelling at slower speeds. I bought a second hand SS induction growler kit today fairly cheap, looks in good nic however this is a bit they have cut out for some reason. Only around the corner from my place though and I said id coming knocking if there were any issues. It looks like they possibly cut it to fit against intercooler piping but will install tomorrow and see.

Plus they sound cool too hahaWell as long as the back or side isn't really open to let hot air in then you should be okay Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82728-fg-tuning/page/2/#findComment-1321429 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some increased power but not too much the trans or myself cant handle.I'll post a photo of the intake with the cut if it gives me drama.Just sussed your ride Bellato, looks good! Mine will be black on black soon, rims arriving next week.

I think if I upgrade my wheels I'll get the 20inch TSW Mallorys. I installed the growler kit, Sits nice and flush against the intercooler piping and when I searched for the installation guide it says you have to cut it to make it fix. Just used a self tapping screw instead of a black ford scrivet as didnt come with one. Sounds louder and can hear the BOV once pedal released under heavy accel. Cant wait to do some more mods!
