Default Escort rs turbo set up

Hello guys,

after running in my car i'm now going for a set up on my car! But i'm in the netherlands and we don't have much company's that are doing set up's for these cars. But now i was wondering how the company's in england are doing there set ups!?

Do they meassure all the things like fuelpressure ect? Or is it meassuring CO and setting ignitionpoint?

The first company i called was telling me they do everything based on experience. It's the company with the most experience in the netherlands. But i would say a rolling road is very important for a good set up and they don't have a RR...

Can they set up a rst proparly without a RR? It's going to cost round 100 a 150 pound...?

Please give my your opinions

NMS are who set mine up. They're the dogs B****cks. I'm not sure abot rst setups, but NMS live map their cars.

you'll see how many others also agree.

They do not need a RR to set it up, just a wideband lambda to check the fuelling (AFR) and a set of detonation headphones to set the ignition advance.

How would you set ignition advance on a rs turbo? just to 12' BTDC or not?
