fox1972 Member 47 Member For: 6y 7m 11d Posted 18/06/20 09:50 AM Share Posted 18/06/20 09:50 AM Hi all, I have an BA XR6 turbo MKII with a 6 speed manual. This vehicle is fully stock, apart from crow valve springs I had installed a few months ago when the head had to be removed to replace the head gasket. A week a go, I ordered the SCT X4 tuner with injectors from a quite known performance provider. I got the valet tune, 8psi and 10 psi pre- loaded tunes. Today I decided to install the new injectors, which I did. I installed the 10psi tune, took it for a run, and was very dissapointed. I was expecting a 60RWKT difference, but it's more like a 5Kwt difference. The boost gauge definatley says it's running 10psi, but to be quite frank, the standard factory tune is better. For example....factory tune...in first gear....driving and holding steady at 3000rpm, I nail it...and the rears will squeal like hell....I do the same with 10psi tune...nothing. I'm so confused...any idea's....?? Regards Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95784-sct-x4-disappointment-whats-wrong/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox1972 Member 47 Member For: 6y 7m 11d Posted 18/06/20 10:57 AM Author Share Posted 18/06/20 10:57 AM Yeah it's a generic tune. Was kinda hoping for better, or maybe I did something wrong. In the past, when I lived in Sydney, Spiro at autotech did most of my cars. But in QLD now for a few years, as most previous cars were fpv v8's. Any recommendations for a good tuner in QLD. I live at Bunderberg, but I hear a tuner at toowoomba is pretty good. Any other recommendations for a good tuner in QLD..??

I'm not sure what your question means?

Probably didn't need a question mark. I'm Ron Burgundy?
