Turkey91 Member 57 Member For: 12y 9m 12d Posted 11/04/15 08:09 AM Share Posted 11/04/15 08:09 AM Bought a bf2 xr6t which has a 4" dump with 3.5" exhaust. Also process west stage 2 cooler kit, injectors and pump. My plans are to mod it further with better intercooler piping and plenum etc. At the moment it's tuned on 10 psi. Hold's that boost perfectly through rev range. do you think the car has a ported wastegate since it's able to hold such a low amount of boost with the 4" dump?

If I get it tuned for 18psi and it gets some boost creep and I then port wastegate would I necessarily need a retune?
