Question escort 1.8td tuning and problems
hi all, this is my 1st post so please bear with me.

ive recently bought CSM,s escort van and im looking at getting a few more horses out of if.

its a 1.8 td endura 70bhp without the intercooler.

im planning on fitting an intercooler from either a mondeo or escort td (top mount), increasing the boost, fiddling with the pump etc. ive got a couple of the threads saved off here but can anyone direct me in the right direction of where to start.

which intercooler should i use? i know there are different turbo's, down pipes etc. which ones should i use?

also i cant find the boost fueling on the pump or the pipe that leads from the turbo to the pump?!

any guides, links or pics would be appreciated.

im a hands on kind of bloke so ill be doing it all myself.

also to pick peoples brains, it drinks a bit when over 65 mph (30mpg) but around town itll do 50mpg. it also seems flat after 2500rpm but pulls nicely (for a 1.8td at least) up to that.

im a beginner so please be gentle.

thanks
