Periklis Member 67 Member For: 14y 5m 2d Posted 21/04/13 05:23 AM Share Posted 21/04/13 05:23 AM Hello all,I have a stock 03 BA XR6T with a T5 that has a boost issue that after months and months of research cannot be rectified. I am going to take my car to my uncles friends workshop who has a dyno to sus out the issue and I figured while it was there to get a tune done.I am not looking to get any huge power gains just a decent tune to go with the stock set-up.Question 1: I have seen afew early model capa tuners on ebay that are blank or have 1 or 2 flashes left in them.. The guy who has the dyno has not worked with XR6T's before and said if I can supply him the hardware required he can put it on the dyno and tune it up for me. He has no software whatsoever, does he need software to tune the car with just the capa box? What are my options here?Question 2: Are the early model capa flash tuners ok for the outcome I am looking for? I have done no mods and am not planning on doing any apart from the centre muffler that has been removed.Any advice is VERY apreciated.Thanks in advance.

The T5 gearbox will not be able to cope with the extra power (they barely cope with stock power) and it will break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tune it unless you have the spare dosh lying about for a T56 kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
