Hi there,

As far as I am aware, the car is running standard ECU, the previous owner didn’t say it was aftermarket. I didn’t get the chance to get on a Dyno myself, but the car did pull very strong, and had no previous issues before it went bang.
Funnily enough, I was thinking the same thing about the fuel pump, as it’s hidden away in the tank ( I assume ) it would be overlooked.
There is no boost controller anywhere to be seen, so again I would assume it would be direct

I am rebuilding it myself with my old man, we are HGV techs so we aren’t complete idiots when it comes to rebuilding, but we have the help of a good friend who has rebuilt countless Zetecs across the years

I just was hoping to see if anyone else much wiser than myself could think of things to check, as I don’t want this to happen again

many thanks,
sam
