thats not too bad with only 13 psi of boost, but as to the above question i'd go zetec route as easy enough to do and get good results out of them from effort put in

No it doesn't does it, especially seeing as it's 16v! Nice smooth power curve though and plenty of torque! I remember kenny from motorsport developments done one a few years ago and from what i read was pretty fuckin swift

was gonna say that old msd old was fooking quick and had the potential for more and as for rs2k`s not wanting to rev have you ever driven a standard one???? theyre faster and much smoother than a standard rs turbo......... ive had several of both and id have the rs2k anyday and being chain driven they are far stonger shame they are heavy tho lol
