Default Charge carrier advice

i have an EFi OFAB FRST engine going in my S2, does the Escort charge carrier fit on the rocker cover or does it have to be a Fiesta one? I know they have different brackets and are a different shape so i'm doubtful.

If the ERST charge doesn't fit can i swap rocker covers to an MFi Escort cover from an EFi Fiesta cover without having to change anything else?

Basically are the rocker covers interchangable between Festa and Escort?

rocker covers between the escort and fiesta ARE the same fitment there are two types though the 90 spec and the 88spec

so it will need 90spec cover with 90spec charge carrier and same with 88 spec

my my advice if your using a erst charge carrier on efi inlet is to use small silicone hose to join as the erst on is a pain to get on .

I used the frst charge carrier with my efi inlet and rocker cover.
if you cut down the frst charge carrier(long section that runs closest to the intercooler) you can still use all the original/silicon erst hoses apart from the inlet-charge carrier joiner which will need changing but is very cheap
