hi dudes,mint GTI was looking for some help of sumone cnt find the right forum for it. i recently bought an escort 1.6 finesse cambelt snapped so ive had all the head re done, iam woundering what would be the best mods to gain 20-30 bhp from it this is only temp because hopefully near xmas iam gonna try and do a 2.0ltr mondeo transplant but untill then what do u guys think????
i was thinking....
sports manifold with decat dnt know which one yet tho,an induction kit with or without a forced air superhcharger are they a waste of money??? ive already got sume greenstuff pads and a fuel boost valve so i would say thats got to be running 95bhp? any help would be much appreciated. thanks sam
