Hi everyone,

I drive a 2012 xr6t ltd zf at 20000 km I modified it to 355rwkw 900nm on e85. it has 22000 now and I let my friend have a drive when I wasnt there when I started the car 20 min after his drive it was overheated and now its missing the monster torque hit between 3-4k rev and it doesnt spin the tyres like it used to (used to fry them in 2nd with ease). im freaking out, my trans feels fine, my turbo has no play I lubed the solenoid and still its missing ALOT of power and torque and I even cooled it down completely put fresh fuel in it and even switched to 98 and now it feels weaker than stock and I was pulling 318rwkw and 800nm. Any suggestions?????????

I would be starting by slapping your 'friend' around the head with a bit o' 4 x 2.......................if you weren't in the car with him, he could of done anything and now there's something wrong, he's probably denying all knowledge. If this is the case then maybe it's time to have a look at the 'friendship'.

Get it to your mechanic/tuner so the can diagnose the cause.

Maybe he drove it through a haystack and filled the intake filter with straw? Or went river crossing and filled it with mud? Or the cat collapsed and your exhaust is now blocked?

Agree on taking it to the tuner, and be careful unless you know what the AFRs are like etc right now. If mine dropped 50% power all of a sudden I'd be scared.
