dloughland New Member 9 Member For: 11y 4m 28d Posted 12/12/13 10:36 AM Share Posted 12/12/13 10:36 AM Currently own a stock 2011 FG XR6 turbo. Have just spent a bit of money online today sourcing the cheapest prices for the mods I want. Looking to save as much as possible on labour by doing any of it possible before I send it to the shop to get tuned. Please take a look at the new bits and let me know what I can and shouldn't add before it gets tuned (probably won't be any longer than a couple weeks after everything is fitted - and can drive like a grandma when needed)- xForce 3.5" Stainless Steel Turbo back with 4" dump- Bosch 1000cc injectors- Walbro 460 intake pump w/ high flow 4 bar fuel pressure reg- Process West Stage II cooler kit- Process West race air box w/ battery relocation kit Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87040-mods-before-tune/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
