It's not the money that's the issue

The boss just bought the new: 

 

FG-X manual supercharged

2016 Mustang (for the wife)

2016 RS Focus with drift mode (picking up next week)

and he already has a 2007 BF2 ute with 400rwkw

 

He just wants to see if it really needs it

I have hinted about three times that we should do the cooler and piping but I guess he wants to see what we can do for under $2.000

 

I would love to keep my BF but the body is starting to deteriorate a little and I need the cash

 

I really just want to know other people's experience with stock piping on the FG (minus the elbow)

Wouldn't it be a tax deduction for a boss to modify their fleet vehicles?

 

I wonder if the Australian tax office would like it if I made my BF a work vehicle and got a built engine done at xtreme ford.

This will be XR6T No.6 we have modded now.

Three utes and three sedans.

We're a small engineering company with a car hoist in the middle of the shop :P

We did the 400kw ute with all the Plazmaman fruit and since then it's been like what's the least mods we can do for the most gain.

Picked up a nice blue 2010 FG T with only 198,000k's on the clock with one owner for $13,700 so the whole package will be peanuts really

Didn't have to suck anything :)

Yes it is. Govt payed for the mods on my SS V-R. They even pay for the tyres I smoke up.

A little update:

Took it for the tune last week but it wouldn't hold the boost down and the tuner changed his tune on whether it needs a cooler and piping so we have bought a turbosmart 7psi actuator and ordered the 700hp intercooler and piping from plazmaman which should give us a nice safe 310kw or there abouts. 

He said it was already running ~255kw so was already running higher than normal boost so we assumed either a perforated diaphragm or sticky solenoid. 

Cat is now gutted and a little noisier. Might lag the pipe.

Will post back after completion :)
