cheers for that m8
i got my decompression plate from mad-for-it performance as there only £30 ish
and it checks out pretty good against a std head gasket
i too am making the adaptor plates my self a already have the inlet sandwich plate made and have nearly finished the head adaptor plate too.
I'm going to be using a converted xr2i loom and a std ofab ecu with a cossie mapsensor so if i can get 180bhp i'll be well chuffed with that as a std starting point but we'll see
like you say its more about the looks than the power and theres no one around here with a zetec turbo and i mean no one
