Makes sense cause I never felt this extra power during the time I've owned the car. Now someone is saying the F6 has this overboost feature to 335kw. I read somewhere that the new GT F 351 has an overboost feature allowing it to push 400kw for a short period of time.

The transient overboost function (at least on the GT) was difficult to get to activate during dyno pulls. It takes a specific set of circumstances, temperature, road speed, commanded throttle etc

Ford had to get them to run it up a few times during the head to head shootouts against the GTS for this reason. Probably the same for the Barra270T and Barra310T

I just checked the torque specs of the FG F6 and it says: 565 N·m @ 1950-5200 rpm where as the FG XR6T is 533 N·m @ 2000-4750 rpm. I was told that the F6 runs a bigger turbo but the funny thing is that when I looked at my turbo and the turbo in my mates F6 they "appeared" to be the same size. So how does this work and how accurate are these figures above?

They are different turbos...

And the figures above are accurate

XR6T - GT3576 turbo

F6 - GT3582 turbo

This is only on FG model though

"B" series cars all had the same turbo

Oh not paranoid, merely trying to satiate my curiousity. The more I can learn about these motors the better. You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars...I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it. You know, I just...do things.
