I have had 2 escort rs turbos converted run megasquirt+edis4 ignition system and i have been very very pleased with the ms efi. Price/value top. If you can install it for youself and get some ford efi parts from breaker it would not cost much. Ke-jet belongs to bin, youre correct. I know there is much better but much higher priced managment systems available too.

Cheers A-V

I run an omex 600 ecu and am happy with it, everyone has their own opinion on aftermarket management on here though, cossie management is a favourite for a lot of people. I'd have a think about who you're gonna get to map the car and ask their advice as to what to go for imo.

Give them a ring and see what they say, all mappers have a preferred management that they like/find easy to map. Not all tuners can or will map every management system.

I think rstdave is bang on. Ask your tuner what he is most used to/prefers. If he said he is more familiar with OMEX then you have your answer.

find a tuner or mapper you like and choose what he suggests.

Although I would say that the fastest escorts in the UK run cossie management

i have cosworth managment found it great completely changed the car. I chose this coz you just have to look at how many cosworths are still on the road today and they work fine ! but as said above theres plenty of good after market options around just check if your tuner can mapp it ?!
