Expand My concern there would be it has had the guts kicked out of it already. So if anything I would rather go with a proper re-built one.

common47 Member 74 Member For: 14y 2m 28d Posted 20/05/16 05:24 AM Author Share Posted 20/05/16 05:24 AM Is better that 3K. And is closer to the $1500 they first said. Plus will have it back by Tuesday or so. I am hoping that after all this there MIGHT be a bit more performance out of it. I am sure you lot are better judge than I at making that call. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91976-03-xr6t-turbo-replacement-cost/page/7/#findComment-1591387 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been helpful. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91976-03-xr6t-turbo-replacement-cost/page/7/#findComment-1591389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
