im not askin how to do it but instead of huntin for all the bits to convert my rst lump to EFi would it be easyer jst to buy a fezza turbo lump and loom and do it that way??

 

It all depends on the engine you have. If yo have a std ERST engine with no mods that is tired, then yes that would be an easier option.

But in most cases people already have some mods or a strong engine and would like to keep them, hence modifying the original.

Also if you were to exchange it with another engine you would "by law" have to inform the DVLA of the new engine number and in most cases they would want to inspect the vehicle at one of their offices to see the work has been carried out. As my Dad did when he replaced the engine in his old mk4, which he found a right faff.

Also wiring in an FRST EFi loom into an MFi RS Turbo isn't the easiest thing in the world to do.

its comin out of my rs as ive wrote it off and is goin into a mk4 cabby

 

u do no that cabbies are dodgier on handling than the hard top m8?
as lee said it depends if youve already spent loads on your mfi engine?or its nackered as to whether itd be worth it,u can get standalone management quite cheap these days,probably not that much more than a decent fiesta turbo lump

 

OMEX 600 for about £600 + mapping costs. Happy days!
