yeh i know ive been phoning around panicking that the inlet wont work but after speaking to field motorsport who made it they told me how to get around it...... so will be trying it this weekend....

if you are after a rs1600i there is two very cheap ones on www.seriesoneturbo.co.uk both are under Ł1500 and one is turbo'd worth a look...

i was gunna sell my rolling shell to get mk's old xr2 but i was told i would be single lol

s1's look tough as any way you look at them,looks awesome on them comps. your turbo and manny is already good enough for the spec and power you want, leave as is.
unless you want 300+. im sure i will be corrected lol

Mark; get a T34 on there. You are wasting your time with a T3. With high boost and the T3 coming in early it will only induce lots of wheel spin.

T34 would suit you much better. They're not exactly expensive either. You may aswell do it whilst you have the thing apart as you are only going to have to have hoses etc fabricated now. Do the T34 and only have to do the hoses once

1 my old mk2 escort with aspirated cosworth which i built that i was only ment to put an exhaust and a pair of twin 40s on and ended up spending 9k ...... lol but after me thinking i was collin mccrae i broke it 8 times in 6 weeks lol

so i swaped that for a nms prepared escos with 382bhp and 370lbs......
broke to run arounds in 3 weeks and had to sell that
had a sierra 2.9 4x4 to run around in
then swapped the escos with guzzler for a mk1 frs
then sold that for 8k plus a mk1 zetec s as a trade in and the brought shadys old fiesta st....
then spent 17k on a 2009 focus st
had two rs turbo projects
now sold both fiesta's and rs turbo's
brought s1 project and have spent 5k+ lol and because of getting a house ive now sold the focus st and got a nice little fiesta 1.4 57 plate to run around in......

so its a about time she got her own way lol

so the next cars i build she is going to decide what we do with them .... and they are going to be better than the mk2 and the s1 ... but keeping secret for awhile....
