if you are on about the bottom hose you can use the normal escort hose with a reducer hose or you can get a custom bottom hose made with a larger end

It's a matter of opinion really isn't it

Just saves messing around with hoses

My mate made an xr2 full zetec turbo. I got a bottom hose made up by roose motorsport for him. basically if you ask them for an rs turbo hose that has the end flared out for a fiesta rs1800 (the one with the zetec in it!) this should cost about £100.

Failing that, get yourself down the scrap yard and unbolt some hoses off a zetec engined ford escort mk5 / 6 and make a hybrid hose using the rs turbo one and the zetec one. to join them use either a proper joiner from burtonsor scour the scrappy for a car with metal joiners in the hoses,
