Default My first escort cosworth

Right I'm contemplating selling my series 2 early next year and buying an escos, want to spend around 12.5k what should I go for I like the look of the small turbo outside with the different mirrors and fuel cap, however I prefer the tuning capabilities of the big turbo.
Advice please?

If you want to go over 300bhp get yourself a big turbo,you can get loads more power out
of them without to much hassle,plenty for sale with mods already done save you spending
big money ,just make sure works been done by proper dealer with plenty of bills and history
and you,ll get your self a good one.

ive had two escos's now and me i would go for a big turbo lux in the best condition possible rather than spec as its easy to tune later....

but ive found they are abit boring untill they are around 370/380bhp then they come alive and a must is better brakes as the 4x4 brakes are shocking .... and i mean pants....

a good spec to go for is
group a gasket and breather
t34.55
greens
3bar
good exhaust and air filter

then get it live mapped by nms on a stage 3 gunship its a great conversion

All I've heard is good reviews about the gunship conversion. Whatever I decide to have it will be going to nms no questions asked. Staffi persuaded me of that from seeing his old saph.

the small turbo's like a woman with small tits and a big mot
and big turbo's are like a woman with big tits and a small mot
