Just curious as to what problems this causes? Is it peculiar just to Fords or turbo cars in general?

Run in to overboost issues. Excess boost not accounted for in the tune means it runs lean. Lean = popped engine:p

Ah ok. Thought a tune would be able to adjust itself slightly for that but i guess its more extra boost than i thought

Nah the ford turbos don't seem to adjust as well as a jap turbo does..

Over boost may trigger limp mode but usually the damage is already done..

Bugger me, that tint is dark!
Looks sweet, love the colour. Always wanted a purple FG XR6T, could never find one with leather and premium sound.

I liked it better with the badges, the red looked good against the purple paintwork. Nice work all round though.
