You'll need to run about 1.4 bar boost to get over 300bhp on a zetec.. with a t34.. then you have that pesky rs turbo exhaust manifold to battle with..
My intentions were to have a custom manifold made by someone like primary designs or similar till i saw how much they where
Whats the problem with the rst manifold
It doesn't flow very well, it puts the turbo right above the crank sensor and pushes the turbo towards the rad.. enough reasons?
I think Ian Howell charges less than £500 for his tubular ones that sit the turbo above the gearbox.. they seem alright!
