LOL!!!

I went from an escort rs turbo to an escort cosworth. The cosworth was standard and the rs turbo had a chip an exhaust and ran 14psi and the rs turbo drove past the cosworth.

They arent quick as standard. Get a stage 1/2 in it straight away to reap the rewards.

To be honest, a std cossie will be quicker than the colt.

Enjoy that for a while, get used to driving it, then a few months later get stage 1, it will feel like a new car
