Default Just Bought a knock around

Hi

Hope all had a fine bank holiday monday!

Just bought an 89 escort turbo with a few mods and am wondering what i can get out of it. it has filter, scorpion,stg1 chip, 31actuator and uprated fuel pump.

it reads 8 psi of boost at the moment and i'm told more is there.

any advice is appreciated as i haven't been involved with erst's much
cheers

14-16psi on std IC. . scorpion would be beter changed for a magnex or mongoose as they a bit restrictive!!! it would also need a set up if you upped the boost. DONT do it yerself

hi rsv8

just make sure its bin chipped, 8psi is standard. If you had a chip motor with a -31 act you would be looking more at 14psi min.

you would be better taking it to a tuner first and see what you have.
