why did you not score the fiesta motor bud,a lot easier and cheaper as you already efi
think going mfi is a backward step mate,even with a turbo,know mine is mfi at the moment but soon as going efi with megasquirt,mfi is stoneage shit and just drinks fuel and throws reliability out the window fookin waste of time,thought you would have done better than that as the rest of your cabby is sweet mate,good move goin turbo though lol
