Default I’m back in a Escort

Hello people I have been on here before as rsmark86

Been away from the scene for years and just purchased a xr3i rs turbo, want some advise before my stupidity gets me into a project rather than an upgrade

I’m running a stage 2 hybrid that has hit 238bhp @jamsport, I want more so should i?
Stage 3 hybrid.48/55 or .48/60 ?
Cosworth t3 or t34? With new downpipe?
Mamba gtx2860 with crazycage manifold (this means a lot of other upgrades)

Spec is
Forged bottom end
Newman phase 4
Solid lifters
Ford valve springs
Efi head
Modified efi inlet
Vxr injectors
Cossie pump
Gotech mfi
Helix paddle with mk6 pedal
Airtec cooler and rad
Stage 2 TT hybrid

And all the cars supporting mods etc

I’m thinking just fit, double valve springs, vernier to get the timing perfect, stage 3 hybrid.48/55, and back to jamsport for hopefully 260+bhp

Thing is i had a golf 1.8t that had a gtx2860 turbo that made 380bhp and then ran out of fuel, the car was epic on the road with so much punch and pull

What do you all think ?
