hi to all ,and yes its not a xr6 ute body but only a xt one tonne ute .just building a sleeper so the cops do not hassle me all the time .I bought a wrecked turbo sedan last February and have started to swap parts over .elite have done some mods to it (330 rwkw) I have got the btr rebuild with some au parts but left the stall standard .got the turbo rebuild and a performance wheel fitted as well .so then I got the flapper modified and that's when I hit a big wall .waited 6 weeks for parts ,only got them when I was going to take him to far trade .but now the flapper is leaking (about .5 mm of the wastegate .can not mention name (but he knows who I am )I also have got a turbosmart actuator ,electronic boost controller e street ,tecnico engine mounts ,new radiator ,turbosmart bov 36 mm,earles oil line kit ,hot side pipping to intercooler (I have a nizpro cooler ).I have also got a true track diff with 3.7 dana gears (absolute love the diff )it has a near new paint job ,ute only had 47000 klm on the clock when I bought it two years ago (do not ask but engine transmission and diff were stuffed)bought it of a ford dealer where I life.so what I would like to know is where do you guys get your parts from (just do not want to get shafted again )this ute has cost me a fortune and it still is only a xt ,so just go easy on me please with the pay outs :surrenderwave:

Your not the first (by a very long way) to play the waiting game with Chris, been there myself.

From personal experience, Process west & Plazmaman- both great businesses with great customer service. Nizpro are worth a mention also by all accounts.

You have come to the right place for advice for these cars, with lots of experience here to draw on.

Its going to be a fun ride when your done, stick with it.

P.S. Honey, I shrunk the dog!- its gonna look a little out of place on the back of the ute at speed..
