Default T28 on ERST?

Any gains from fitting an escos T28 to an RS turbo?

Been offered a tubular manifold with T28 on it, full system with 5" pipe, probs change the pipe to a 3" outward rolled at some point.

Just wanted to know if it would be worthwhile fitting it?

Not clued up on the Ford range will start my research tho

Am also looking to get a chip & FMIC, its running 140bhp on std boost at mo, any ideas what i can be looking for once these changes are made?

many thanks.

looks like an awsome set up, does it move the turbo to behind the engine?
must be good for heat diplacement aswell!!!!!!

can you still buy this set up?

Yeh, the turbo goes behind the engine, and its an AVA setup

do you know what the rest of the spec was? just i dont know if i can just bolt this on & go, and i'm not sure where the pipework will have to run?

could do with a pic of the said setup?

thanks.

it'll be a very nice setup, good for well over 200hp.

The car made 220@ the wheels but ive heard it is a bit of a pain to fit, if you get it cheap go for it coz it works well

Pain in what way mate?

what else will i need to make the most of it?

my spec so far is....

Bailey evo dump valve.
Samco boost hoses, in red.
-31 actuator.
Magnex full exhaust, with 4" rolled tailpipe.
Boost gauge.
Drilled airbox, with K&N filter element.
Uprated clutch.
Uprated fuel pump.

Looking to get a nice FMIC & a chip soon too.

Just realised aswell, it comes with some pipework for the IC, but dont know if its for std or uprated
