what car you got? what mods?

I'm asking cos I heard on other forums that they were thrashing a fair few people (these were Sil/180 forums too)

The only complaint I've heard is the gearbox is shit

I have chopped one no probs, I dont rate them high at all.
Just watch out for a modded one, they seem to respond so simple mods very well.
See http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/falcon/xr6turbo.htm
Big bang for low bucks.

I have a S15, with the usual FMIC. standard boost. Zorst.

Yeah, he'd prolly be investing in some mods now. I dunno if his was standard it sounded, weird..cant explain. They dont sound like there really boosting.

they stop boosting at 4000rpm and go into NA - if i understand correctly. they have the weirdest setup. but like the S15, they respond to mods very well, as MYS15T said.

it's pretty hard to compare a stock car to a modded one but....steve from redcliff dyno here has one with exhaust, fuel, computer and cooler mods and has run low 12's on 8 psi of boost on street tyres. how many s15's have run that. considering he was going to up the boost on the night but it was rained out i would not have been suprised to see it run an 11.

btw, i am not just singing the praises of ford, i drive a modded s15 myself but it is unfair to say a car is crap because you blew a stock one away.

As he said they're crap becasue they are FORD, plus when I said I don't rate them high, I was refering to the stock ones.
Plus the gearboxes are weak as, even on the Stage 3 APS kit they don't recomend it to be used with the standard box.
But the main reason(s) I dislike them apart from being a FORD is this
