Always intercoolers in for sale adds. you cnt get a second hand pace double capacity for about 70 posted
As I think if you want to start hitting the 200+ mark you wanna start saving some pennies. remember these are any 135bhp aprox stadard but in there prime that was pretty nippy.
What PSi is the turbo pushing?
i mate i must keep en eye out for a good 2nd hand cooler
not sure what psi the turbo is pushing at the minute, the car is a bout 20 miles from me gettin some welding done, handbrake cables, brake pads and discs and ready for mot. since buying th car i have been bitten with the ford bug! dying to get her finished and on the road!

The escort did a 14.4 sec 1/4 mile and a 2004 civic type r does it in 15.2.... so yep it will be faster.
