Default power upgrade

hi guys im new to the rs scene so i was wondering if you could help, i have a 88 escort rs that has been boered out to 1750, mhale pistons lightened and balanced flywheel and crank and conrods, pace intercooler samco hoses meant to have an uprated turbo to make it more responsive but not sure it still is the t3 and a mild high lift cam but no sure as there is no vernior pully running 10psi of boost just wondering if you would know what sort of power it should put out and what should do next for a bit more and help would be much appreciated forgot to mention it has a bailley dump valve

Welcome m8, knew you were from kdy when a seen laud lol Has your motor got a 31 accuator and chip? take the dizzy off and look at the end of the cam to see what is stamped on it, as for the turbo it probally is still a t3, but maybe a hybrid st2 or 3 you should be able to tell by the size of the compressor and exhaust housing

Don't listen to the pseudo 'experts' Mate. GET IT SET UP PROPERLY preferably by someone who knows what he's doing like Jamie Going at Jamsport. He's a
L O N G
way from you but there are so many fukwits out there who laughingly call themselves
tuners who quite honestly shouldn't be allowed out on their own, never mind be let loose on your pride and joy. At the very least you'll know that it's been set up by a God, runs as well as it's going to given your current setup, is going to have you grinning like an idiot on the way home and most importantly won't blow up every second lamp post.
Listening to comments like 'get a large intercooler and wind up the boost' without
checking the fueling,ignition,octane rating or taking notice of folks that get their info from the Beano guide to engine tuning etc etc will only end in tears/frustration.
Whereas get it done correctly and you'll make blokes with big intercoolers look like they're going backwards/ARE YOU READING THIS MR WHITE CABRIOLET ON THE 406
LAST NIGHT?............. Good Luck John
