vince01_01 New Member 12 Member For: 10y 3m 24d Posted 16/11/14 12:20 PM Share Posted 16/11/14 12:20 PM Hi I have a fg xr6 turbo I have got it tuned, a high flow cat, a 1000 hp plazmaman cooler and got rid of the crossover and put the air intake where the battery is. Now I need to change the turbo to get more power.I have brought a 3540 and was wondering if I can change the turbo myself and drive it to the tuners or do I have to get them to do it cause im changing the turbo. Cause its the same housing as mine as in inlet and outlet I thought I might b able to get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have towed mine to CMS everytime as its not worth the risk your running.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously if u go boosting everywhere you will you potentially could hurt something, but a small trip to the tuner off boost is ok. Why is everyone so scared to drive these when the computers are so smart they put them selfs into limp modes when something is wrong, but 10 years ago you would wind the boost tee on your skyline until it would break down under boost then back it off a smidgen and call that safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
