Default WHAT TURBOS DO YOU HAVE ON YOUR ESCORT ?

I have just got a big turbo escort cosworth and am looking to change the turbo unit for something a bit better !

I had a T35 stage 2 on my saff and it was a good turbo was thinking of getting the same for the escort but thought id see what other people have

Also has anyone got a T38 on Thar escort and what is it lick compared to the T34 / 35

Thanks

Tac...how much power do you want?

what mods have been done so far?

what i mean is there is no point considering a large turbo if it will never be needed..

the turbo that comes on the escort cossie is a belter IMO..

just needs a 360 bearing

Not been put on rolling road as yet. when A1 rally sport built the engine he estimted 420 BHP I beleave that to be right as the engine prior to the rebuild was rolling roaded at 395 brake and this engine is quicker by a long way
