PAH Donating Members 361 Member For: 16y 1m 3d Gender: Male Posted 01/02/15 09:13 PM Share Posted 01/02/15 09:13 PM PSIFRK,I could have saved a buck if I'd known what I was doing - I've paid for a few retunes that I could have avoided.I drive a 2008 FG XR6T. One of the things that has annoyed me is the power drop off in the warmer weather. If you're in Brisbane, it's my guess that the best intercooler available would be a good idea.I bought a Cat and dump pipe upgrade with an early tune and it it's easy to tell the difference after that mod. If I bought a new XR6T, I'd do that again but I prefer the quiet of the factory mufflers. Would I change the factory turbo next time? Maybe not even though it doesn't puff as hard up high - I suspect that the factory turbo puffs harder down low for every day street driving. If you want to protect your warranty for a while, I guess you might limit your mods for a while?PAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuner seemed pretty adamant the 2 times that I asked him about it (but I guess its an extra $1200 added to the bill for them lol).They were also telling me to get a surge at 300ish rwkw (because I like to run the fuel pretty low)....and yes they are one of the top 2 tuners here in WA; not some hobo trying to pretend that they know what they're talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have full Nizpro exhaust as well. Had no issues with my car. Was told the small turbo won't make the boost to be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
