right people ive got a bog standard escort rs turbo its so slow compared to my old vr6 turbo mk1 golf for obvious reasons so im looking at giving her a little tune up nothing major as im planning to fit a focus rs engine later on next year
its got a full ss exhaust and a k&n cone filter any info would be good cheers

 

intercooler and wack the boost up...then get her setup on the rr u should see a nice improvment

 

well its got tobe a chip/-31actuator for starters or you wont get over 10.5 psi of boost but remember if running standard intercooler i wouldn't go much more than 12 psi you do get people running 14 psi on them but thats your choice you could get a cam second hand but standard are ok and second hand pace intercooler a double capacity one
if you use ebay i would say
intercooler £80 tops or alot lower
chipped ecu £20/£50
good cam second hand £60 /£100
-31 actuator £40 i just got a collins one £25 delivered like new
and if you can collect them and use paypal if you can and when you do the focus rs conversion resell the parts back on ebay and you should find they hold there money but the cam wont cvh eats em
i know people think ebay is pony but i bet there is alot of people on here who have had a
good deal or two
i would get all the parts first and put them on and head off to the rolling road you gotta see at least 30+ bhp and lets face it the weather is getting colder so 160 bhp will be a challange on wet and icy roads for a while

i bought an airtec for my last series 2 and it was a doddle to fit but i never got round to running it so it was taken off and sold on i should have just kept it i always do these silly things i just sold a brand new b&m quickshift because i though i wouldnt have another escort turbo then a month later i do lol
