The place I went to also installed new injectors, fuel pump, and some wastegate modifications, plus a tune. You'll need a tune regardless of what you do, so better to do it all in one hit, then you only pay for a single tune. Depending on the tune, and how much boost you want to run, you should be able to get around the 350rwkw mark. Depending on where you go for your modifications, you will be looking at around $5k + including all the parts and labor. so budget well, as from what I understand, some tunes cost around the $1000 mark every time you take it there..again this will be dependant on the arrangement you have with your tuner!Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Market dictates you should pay around $1700+ for Xcal3 and 3 tune slotseg. Valet.,95 ron and big gun tune.A tickle for minor upgrades from the same tuner to hardware should still let you go home panties intact 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was miscommunication between the tuner and the guy who did the modifications. So the tune was around $1000 for the day, and still had to go back a few times because of boost spiking issues!Luckily I didnt need to pay for the other times it went back!

XFT put up a pic of a tune only fg f6 325kws and I asked is that average or is if it was a bit stronger than others and he reckons average for them if they are after a certain build date. Id be so stoked with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XFT put up a pic of a tune only fg f6 325kws and I asked is that average or is if it was a bit stronger than others and he reckons average for them if they are after a certain build date. Id be so stoked with that.Really what build date? ? Mines a 2012 I would be stoked with just a tune and hitting 325Also how much boost can you run through the f6 turbo? ?

What will E85 do?Yes Simon from Xtreme was saying the euro 4 were that little bit quicker, he said next mods for me would be intercooler and injectors and I should get at least 350rwkw. I don't understand how other people say to do other things first, like exhaust and cold air, strange !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
