Your thoughts please!
alot of people do take them off. from wot im awair when you disconect them you have to wate a few mins for the turbo to warm up on start up and when you stop you have to wate agan for the turbo to cool of befor switching the engine off. my mate xr2-si had a 2.1 zetec turbo in his xr2 he dident have them conected and never let his car warm up/cool down he did 5000 truble free miles be for he broke the car and the engine is still going in well in an escort
