I ran it on the dyno for a 232rwkw stock and up boost to 12psi with injectors and plugs n tune. Made 273rwkw..... how does that rate? I mean im impressed with the results,just wondering peoples outcomes from these mods,also what me next step from here ? (Want 300+rwkw) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say your exhaust is holding you back. Change the dump and cat out and get it retuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What system size is good for these mods?? Dont want an overly extreme fast car just reliable and toey haha.... xforce system ok? 31 minutes ago, Ford Freak said: where did you find this BA with such low kays daym who tuned it?

Just depends if ya want to pay 25 -30 k for a 2003 -06 FPV. FPV 497 ya middle muffler isn't as much a restriction point as the ya cat. Cats gotta go..... Dump will be fine, do full cat back exhaust and a new fuel pump (255 walbro intank unit ) and you will make 300+ rwkw's easily. Maybe a new Garrett wastegate actuator while ya at to keep boost under control when ya turn it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yer if ya get one in like new condition wif 60,000kms id pay the 25k. But u can get them even cheaper then 25k I assure u 😉. As for boost im on 12psi atm, I think I have a very conservative tuner, but yes I think ill go cat back / actuator first. I thought a fuel pump prob be good till like 330rwkw maybe?

Box stock T. Member 1,384 Member For: 9y 9m 23d Posted 28/01/19 09:40 AM Share Posted 28/01/19 09:40 AM BA versions definitely sell for a bit less. BF and BF2's still sell for 25+ with low k's. Fuel pump is a cheap do it yourself mod that's worth doing if ya gonna do the exhaust and actuator because you don't won't it to be thing that your tuna says if you had have done it I could have got another 20 -30 kw'smore out of it.....
