Every time i read the "px frs" i think about asking you for a swap but i really shouldn't

I never bothered to check before what turbo it was as it's had a nice engine build but still ST?

yeah still on st at the minute.
i'm thinking of getting the bits of paint done on it, won't cost much i've been told. i think thats what's been putting people of because of a few rust bubles under the paint but it's never had any new panels fitted like some.
then add some more power

would the engine loom have to be out of a bt escort or will a saph loom fit?
i have a 2wd and 4wd engine loom and a l6 ecu so could be half way there.

still not sure about keeping justlooking at my options. lol if i did keep i need more power.
