SipposBFT Member 81 Member For: 15y 8m 20d Posted 30/05/13 10:46 AM Share Posted 30/05/13 10:46 AM After the news of Fords intention to Close production of local Falcons by 2016... does anyone else see the opportunity to shelve your xr turbos & wait for the value to escalate?? The thought of no more value for money Falcon turbos on the market really disappoints. To a slightly less degree...but just like the gtho.. I can see buyers...years down the track rushing to pay great coin to buy another once iconic great performing Aussie sports sedan which is no longer available & in short supply. What do you guys think?? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85120-time-to-store-your-turbo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I hope is the engine never pops so it stays original (mods notwithstanding).

Be plenty of engines available,just buy a N/A motor.. Of just buy 3 or 4 now and put those in corner of Garage.
