well with the take-off bend that reyland makes for the 2wd you can have external WG and 500+ will be a piece of piss to achive.

Dont believe everything you read on the internet then, because he certainly never made anything for Jenspeed. And Jenspeed is no longer in business either
And as righthooker said, he is a bedroom trader with no registered company. He did a group buy on piston rings on a norwegian forum a while ago. 5 months turnaround time for some simple piston rings, says it all doesnt it...
So who have you spoken to on here that has one and is happy with it, nobody that replied here. Im guessing its the seller, as he is a user on here

Try Opplinger motorsport from Italy, he make good exhaust manifold and he make a tubular manifold for the escort so you can keep everything clear, they are also on e-bay
