But im just after your oppinions! Btw car is booked in for Gotech Management. Engine Spec is as follows (Well this is how engine was described when I bought it!)
Ford escort RS Turbo ENGINE

Low compresion pistons, balanced and lightened conrods plus fly wheel, heavy duty bolts, Piper 285 cam kit, and alloy vernier pulley, Hot head with big valves, uprated oil pump and oil cooler, high brid turbo -31 actuator, pace large intercooler, blue silicone hoses kit, full wireing loom with new relays and a super chip plus radiator,and high presure fuel pump, meatering unit, all pipes the lot to do a turbo conversion, this engine has covered 15K miles and was built with everything new, all recipts to prove, the engine has been homed to 1600 / 1598, it has full race forged alluminum power max pistons, i think the compresion ratio is 8 to 1, The cylinder head has got bigger valves and titanium guides, ported and polished.

GEAR BOX

The gear box has been rebuilt, using different gears (the diesel conversion) still has LSD, and has the mark 3 fittings plus new clutch plus has drive shafts.

The head is meant to be Stage 4. Engine was built by John Noble Motorsport.

Depends on what fuel can be supplied...

Jamie will set it up to a reliable boost level, unless you say take to it's max
