TimcGT Member 7 Member For: 11y 4m 1d Posted 29/12/13 08:42 AM Share Posted 29/12/13 08:42 AM Hey guys,Just got a fg xr8 tonner, it's a bit "doughy" power delivery. It goes ok, but as always it's never enough..What upgrades do you recommend? /Are worthwhile?I've ordered a 2.5 twin cat back exhaust, engine out to do extractors I've heard?Is it worth doing cold air intake? What sort of atw gains will I see with an intake exhaust and tune?I would imagine they're around 230-240rwkw? Stock.Also it has a bit of clutch rattle... Might put a bigger clutch in... Doable homejob? Or do they have stupid pressure plate setups like the 6 speed commy boxes?Cheers for any helpTim Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87163-xr8-fg-recommendations-bit-doughy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
