Still think spool or alike wud b the way to go ... Yeah tuners in syd are hit & miss from my experience... Seen sum guys get great results & then sum hav engine failures from the same stable... Gonna really research that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fg f6 has different pistons. Same comp ratio just got a semi forged mahle I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SipposBFT Member 81 Member For: 15y 3m Posted 28/06/16 08:58 PM Author Share Posted 28/06/16 08:58 PM AND... I'm really getting annoyed with this friggin turbo-exhaust flange bolts which keep coming loose!!!! Tunehouse changed bolts to studs (with a gasket )but even they come loose & 1 has even fallen out !! .. don't want to change to a top mount manifold... Can I run an FG?

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,985 Member For: 16y 7m 12d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 28/06/16 11:36 PM Share Posted 28/06/16 11:36 PM You can use either stage8 fasteners or nordloc washers with new studs and they will stay on. No need to change the manifold type just to keep bolts in place.

If you want to fit a set of nordlocs let me know, My supplier will sell them indivually at excellent pricing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SipposBFT Member 81 Member For: 15y 3m Posted 29/06/16 05:19 AM Author Share Posted 29/06/16 05:19 AM Thankyou ralf... I will let you know 4 sure... But was under the impression FGs don't suffer from this... My mate worked @ peter warrens & said FGs didn't seem to suffer... Even tony from Tunehouse had the same opinion ... Let's hope this wks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
