Would putting extractors on my Xr6 turbo ute along with my new exhaust (4'' dump from turbo into 3-1/2'' stainless steel exhaust) be of any benifit to gain maximum power??

You can't put extractors on a turbo'd car, here's your first problem. 3.5" dump in mild steel to a 3" stainless steel exhaust should be plenty, make sure you get it tuned afterwards.

well, seeing as its a turbo which uses the exhaust, a more free-flowing exhaust is going allow the turbo to spin easier/faster therefore making more power as well as the gains in it being free-flowing anyway.

on a na car, it makes shite all difference, mabe 5-10hp around that.

on a turbo car like yours ive heard it making upwards of 40hp gains, cause it simply allows more boost.

Get a turbo back exhaust system will require a tune, as the stock ECU management cuts power due to the extra flow and faster spool from a full turbo back system.

Hi there Antman,

How much power are you after?

If it is a BF turbo then the standard dump is really well designed. Remove the middle muffler as that is quite large and slows exhaust gasses. The standard rear muffler is more than adequate for 300kw at the treads. The twin system is a really good design. If you are looking for more power than i'd suggest getting a CAPA flash tuner, they come with preset tunes. EBAY has them pretty cheap these days. You might already have one. I would highly recommend upgrading the intercooler as the standard unit has a pretty high pressure drop. Also shorten the intake path by swapping the position of the battery and air box so it is closer to the turbo. If your car has a few kms on it then you would best be spraying a small amount of silicone lubricant into the solenoid that controls the turbo boost. The internal workings of this unit become sticky and after a small amount of lubrication will improve turbo response and perform just like it did from the factory door.

Man I worry about some of the posts I read on here.

liampire is on the right track

I am not Ford expert but I know people who own them

if you want to do some research then head over to the FordXR6forums - do a google search there is heaps on info on there. or speak with a tuner like CAPPA

An exhaust and headers are almost the last thing you need to do to the ford turbos to get power out of them.

if you want good gains this is what you need to do - a stage 1 intercooler kit - about $1000, a Flash Tune - about $1600, Larger injectors - not sure on cost and a better air filter - about $100

that I believe will make you about 280 rwkw on the stock exhaust.

the exhaust on them is pretty good and going something huge doesn't seem to make big improvements unlike on WRXs and Silvias.
