Please forget about the piggy backs. Use one single management that can do the job.

Use whatever programmable ecu you can get. Wouldn't really recommend an ecu from an original install.

With programmable I mean properly programmable ones. Connect a laptop and change parameters kinda programmable, not "buy a chip" kind of. I would very much doubt that you'll find a suitable turbo chip for a XR3i type EEC-IV management.

Unfortunately as has already been said numerous times you need to move away from the piggy back idea and just get either a Fiesta Turbo ECU or some other FULLY programmable ECU.

OFAB is better, but it doesn't make any difference its very simple to change the loom for OFAB.
