hi all


im currently gathering parts to turbo the missus's mk4 1.4 escort.

why turbo a 1.4? well why not so far ive got hold of a erst turbo n manifold, rad n intercooler and 2.5 inch scorpion full exhaust system.

ive recently changed the engine to a less worn out one. it was a cfi injection engine but ive converted it back to carb and used the ESC hybrid module and coil pack for the ignition.

the carb is off of a 1.6 round top TLDM i think ?, only mod is to the emulsion tube wich is a 1300 item.

its standard compression 9:5.1

is there a cheep way to get this to work as a turbo?

my main concern is retarding ignition timing under boost but also setting up the carb too.

has any one done this to a 1.4 before?
