id imagine youd need to go down the EFi route. fiesta turbo inlet, cps sensor.

not just a case of remove old management and put new in.

you can adapt the mfi inlet by opening up the injector seats, then use a fez turbo fuel rail and reg, youll need to weld on some sort of posts to hold the rail though.

the efi inlet can be used but if youre going to be keeping your mfi head youll need a conversion plate as the mfi head doesnt have the cut outs for the injectors.

injectors wise, all depends on what sort of power you want.

look on jamsport website, the have a breakdown of all the parts required, simply choose the ones you can source then the ones you need supplying phone jamie and sort a deal

Beige - 180 bhp - 210 bhp (18psi)
Greens anything above as a ball park figure, i sold my beiges as they couldnt fule anything over 14psi with about 200bhp but this was due to it being a 2.1, I bought a set of green for 100 of Tabetha which will easily fuel up to 300bhp, but I have been told they can be a bit crude, newer injectors such as vauxhall vxr injector have a more refined pulse.

I hope this helps

Had one of the first Mini X ECU in the country on a RST. Was simple to fit & as said just a case of machining inlet for injectors (i used a 16i inlet with green cossie injectors) & using a FRST Fuel Rail.
Base map was shite, but had it mapped at Jamsport & was sweeeet!

when you connect up gotech mini x is it a dash out job or do you just wire in up to the wiring in the engine bay ?
