yeah would need the 90spec rocker cover for the bolts to line up, plus im unsure how its affected by use with an mfi inlet n TB as opposed to an efi inlet n TB, which may make it shorter n therefore pull the top boost hose about a bit. could be wrong though...

as said, 90 spec rocker(cam) cover it'll fit straight on, but not sure on the other end as the hoses are different angles on either RS.
best of getting an auto specialists one if you wanted it for the 'turbo' logo.........?

i would have thought so, although does the frst intercooler sit in exact same position as the s2?

im thinkin whichever way u go, there might be a hose slightly forced out of shape lol

maybe give it a miss,

my only reasson is i dont want a knock off chrome turbo crossover pipe. i want a Gen Ford crossover and the FRST has the turbo onit, wanna keep the car looking clean

If it will cause more problems then maybe i should leave my standard one on

personally i hate the 'turbo' crossover pipes, looks like its done in large raised lettering for the sight impaired, who also apparently cant divert their eyes a few inches closer to the slam panel to notice the turbo sat there for the world to see

Yes, it fits but the hose to the frst crosspipe fits over the hose to the escort throttle body so you need a small section on the throttle body, then slide the larger fiesta one over it! Then, at the other end, use a fiesta turbo intercooler hose, or shorten the cross pipe for the escort one!, but then you dont have a boss for the act sensor AND you'll have a pipe that needs blanking off by the throttle cable bracket!
