Take it back and make ford fault find and see what they come up with firstly, yes they're generally useless but they sometimes help, secondly once u notice what u think may be a problem you generally start noticing other things h didn't before and think they could be issues I doubt there is any real problem, check all pipes and clamps and go from there Edited 03/11/15 10:11 AM by Princess Whinginator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 12y 4m 25d Posted 03/11/15 04:06 PM Share Posted 03/11/15 04:06 PM (edited) Check for boost leaks then get it put on a dyno to see the power it's making.I can tell you, the power delivery of a standard FG XR6T very weird, if I would apply the gas to 90%, it would move but not that fast.But if I give it a quick punch but to 70% and only to 70%, all hell breaks loose. It took a bit of time to get used to this wizardry.When cold, it will pull ridiculously hard, and when it warms up you definitely notice it is less grunty.

My ex was such a girl.Auto?Try driving it in manual mode and see if it feels the sameAuto. Will do once this rain here in Sydney stops Check for boost leaks then get it put on a dyno to see the power it's making.I can tell you, the power delivery of a standard FG XR6T very weird, if I would apply the gas to 90%, it would move but not that fast.But if I give it a quick punch but to 70% and only to 70%, all hell breaks loose. It took a bit of time to get used to this wizardry.When cold, it will pull ridiculously hard, and when it warms up you definitely notice it is less grunty.Was actually thinking about doing that just to see what the car is making right now and if it's performing to optimal levels. You are right about the power delivery with this model, in fact when I first got the car I didn't have a clue on what was normal and what wasn't, obviously with this being my first Falcon let alone a turbo. I never just plant my foot down, I always ease into accelerating until the boost builds up and it would always struggle for traction but the other day it wasn't as noticeable for whatever reason. Like some people are saying, it could just be in my head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
