OFAC Fiesta turbo ECU. (OFAB can be used but takes a little bit more work)

Ecu related MAP sensor. (OFAC ecu will need an OFAC MAP sensor)

Fiesta turbo engine, or mixture of adapter plates and a trigger for the CPS.

EFi inlet manifold, throttle body and charge carrier

ACT sensor, from the fiesta turbo

Throttle body to charge carrier pipe, still available from Ford at the moment!

EFi flywheel, Fiesta RS, XR2i, XR3i (EFi)

XR3i EFi whole loom

XR3i Throttle cable and pedal

EDIS Module and coil pack etc from XR3i (or Fiesta RS)

The easiest thing to do if possible would be to find a rotten XR2i or XR3i, then you only need a turbo ECU and MAP sensor

You'll pay an arm and a leg to get it done somewhere.

Its not that hard to do, where abouts in London? Anywhere near the M4?

Nah! They are the same as the 3i ones i believe. The FRST one is going to have a wider temperature range which can only be a good thing

Well it'll probably work in practice, but Ford fitted a different one to the FRSt for a reason!

Obviously there is going to be a lot higher temperatures seen in a forced induction motor at certain times

Who was that to
It was to anyone who can tell me why I'd need a full xr3i loom. I have OFAB ECU and engine loom, thought I could chop this into the S2 car loom and it'd be champion.

Quagmire yeah, so it'd need to be a 8v 2i.

Orion EFI also is the same thing, well pointed out (i shouldn't forget that being an Orion nut )

R6Franky, as good as mate, saves you changing the whole loom, not as asthetically pleasing though
