I would never go for a n/a YB nowdays. Too heavy, too much work and much better alternatives around.

Never had a chance to take apart a Duratech yet. I know they are getting great results with turbocharged ones across the pond.

The only thing that puts me off the duratech is the poxy mazda bolt pattern.

I still like playing with zetecs at the mo. I haven't learn't everything i need to know about them yet so...

duratec for me. YB turbo is cheap power but I think the duratec turbo will be the way forward in the future.. as for N/A i agree with what was said above. you should be able to get the same power from a 2.3 duratec for less ££££ and a lighter engine.
