Lee Bugeja Member 25 Member For: 13y 1m 14d Gender: Male Posted 22/05/14 01:03 AM Share Posted 22/05/14 01:03 AM Hey guys, recently had my G6et in for a PW stage 2 cooler and id1000s, came out running 280rwkw. I use it for work and can drive upwards of 150km a day.Before the tune I averaged 12l/100, sometimes a little better, getting around 500-520km each tank. After the mods its down to just under 15l/100, I only get about 400km out of a tank now. Theres a bit of a rattle during idle, feels like exhaust (my BF did it for a while before I changed exhaust) They did no exhaust work though so not sure why something would go wrong there.When cold its rough as hell. Theres a fairly obvious vibration under heavy acceleration, almost a buzzing sound.The day after the mods one of the intercooler pipes popped off, tightened the hose clamps and nothings happened since.Also there seems to be a very slight flatspot around 1800rpm, although that was before the mods. My biggest concern at the moment is the fuel, I expected a little higher consumption but this seems ridiculous. Ive gone through probably 5+ tanks already. Bit of a list I know, figured I might as well mention anything I can think of haha. Anyone had any of these problems?

Before I as also getting around 12L/100 and now I'm averaging 14-15L/100 with the same kinda driving style.Still puzzled from this, everything else is fine, drives great... but yeah only getting 400km out of a tank now Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88302-economyissues-after-mods/#findComment-1473086 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the bigger injectors can be part of the problem but from what I understand the rest is in the tune. Pretty sure my tune is quite rich down low when it doesn't need to be because if I thrash the car around all week I get the same fuel consumption as if I put about Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88302-economyissues-after-mods/#findComment-1473096 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Bugeja Member 25 Member For: 13y 1m 14d Gender: Male Posted 22/05/14 03:52 AM Author Share Posted 22/05/14 03:52 AM When working I baby it. So a huge majority of my driving is under 3k. Even more so lately as it's been a concern. In regards to the tuner, are there any rules about naming them? Seems most people keep quiet for one reason or another.
