Zorn Member 19 Member For: 12y 5m 30d Posted 17/10/13 03:03 AM Share Posted 17/10/13 03:03 AM Hi Guys, I have noticed for the past couple of months, if I give a little bit of a kick to my BA MKII xr6 turbo ute, that in the higher reve range the turbo will cut out all together until I change to the next gear, then do it in that gear and so on. What would be the cause of this and how can I rectify it?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not getting into redline territory doing this though, but in saying that, would it best to have someone look at my shift points and get them properly adjusted??

_Velocity_ Bronze Donating Members 2,768 Member For: 13y 8m 7d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 18/10/13 12:43 AM Share Posted 18/10/13 12:43 AM Not without replacing them. Their symptoms are usually breaking down when under load.Regarding the flash tune, if your tuner uses SCT to tune and you buy an XCAL3, you will have the ability to transfer between the factory and custom tunes using the flash box.Best to stick with the original plan and take it to a reputable garage. Hopefully that's all it is just a coilpack or something cheap though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidxr6t skids Donating Members 2,754 Member For: 12y 4d Gender: Not Telling Posted 18/10/13 12:48 AM Share Posted 18/10/13 12:48 AM (edited) I had lots of issues and decided to throw money at my BA mk2. I would HIGHLY recommend a correct diagnosis before you go and replace lots of functional parts for brand new. Fuel filter was causing my issues, it's also a maintenance thing, with how cheap they are, I'd do it anyway if it's been a while.Ever tried running different fuel in it? I had some problems where mine would cut out and just not like 98 or 95 but ran a heck of a lot better on 91, all sorted now (by throwing lots of money - I don't know what part fixed it). It HATES 95 still to this day, but handles 98 and 91 just fine. Edited 18/10/13 12:51 AM by johnxr6t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
