Am i correct?

Once the efi is installed is it ok to turn up the boost to say 15psi and the fuel will automatically be adjusted?
I dont know about the XR2i loom, but you can use the complete head and inlet without any problems, they are the same as the Fiesta RS Turbo items. You can use your charge carrier, the hose connecting it to the throttle body may be tight but use a silicone hose and a very light smearing of fairy liquid and it'll go on.

As for the boost, you should get the car set up by a tuner initially, if only to get the CO levels right. Once that is done, the ECU and EDIS module should work out the ignition and fueling based on how much boost the MAP sensor sees. You will need a 195 chip and Beige 701 injectors to run that much boost though.

Hope that helps
