Every fg i believe has a smaller turbo. In stock form theyre better than earlier model but they fall off when your going for outright power compared to earlier models.

Itoo would have chosen luxury over xr6t the seats feel like they're made out of wetsuit material

End of the day, if you are going for outright power, the stock turbo would probably go. Either way, off the shelf I am very happy with the performance. Even the handling is rather good and seems much firmer than i expected.

Yeah did some research and it's only the FPV which has different turbo. Damn these car's are beast's. Got a spare 9k laying around and have a 400wk+ monster. Might have to start saving up my pennies :p

FG XR6T Ute manual
The stock turbo on the fg's is good for up to 320rwkw roughly. Fpv use the same turbo from the ba/bf so can go more power. They really do look good in white the fg's especially rolling on black wheels. Might have to invest in valve springs too when going for the tune because they really skimped out on them in the fg's, they are pretty weak pressure and limit power to about 280rwkw

Cheers for that info, someone mentioned to do valve springs at tune just for safety.
