discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 5m 24d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 25/02/14 04:14 AM Share Posted 25/02/14 04:14 AM Mine were giving me a rough idle almost right after getting it tuned at 100,000km (07 BFII). Drove like that anyway for 90,000km and finally changed them in order to go run a 1000m track event Now idles fine after WOT runs and also has a bit more power earlier in the revs. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87636-valve-springs-when-did-you-change-yours/#findComment-1457705 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's increased boost pressure and soft or soften springs that get blow off their seats Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87636-valve-springs-when-did-you-change-yours/#findComment-1457713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
