But rob looked at mine when he tuned it at 110,000 and said they were stuffed so put new genuine Ford ones in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is there one between exhaust manifold and turbo?Just FYI.....this is the reason I ask. Kits like this available on fleabay....http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BA-BF-FG-FALCON-BARRA-TURBO-EXHAUST-GASKET-KIT-240T-TYPHOON-F6-270T-310-XR6-XR6T-/111736921877?hash=item1a040a1f15But I remember some old thread where someone asked whether people are using the gaskets on their turbos and there was mixed responses IIRC???

But rob looked at mine when he tuned it at 110,000 and said they were stuffed so put new genuine Ford ones in.Completely forgot to quote this!!! How did Rob know they were stuffed? Did he plug it into a computer or something...or could tell by the way it was running?Also did you buy the genuines off him or somewhere else (and do you remember price at all?). Cheers!

He showed me when I got there to pick it up. It was running fine at the time but they looked bad and he reckons they needed replacing soCan't remember what/if I paid but they're cheap and as I say they regap em when they tune anyway so I'm sure he will sort em out if yours are screwed Edited 13/08/15 03:52 AM by Lennox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
