take the zetec out and put a YB in, the hard work has already been done, seems pointless putting a zetec in there.

i would also stick with the zetec
-more reliable (ish)
-can be tuned to similar power to a standard YB
-NO lag
-different
-you can re-build and tune a zetec for half decent power for more or less the same a buying a re-built YB

ok ... so youve convinced me then...

it has a custom made sump at the min, its a full low compresion re-build with a T28 roller bearing turbo on a custom manifold... should be good for 350hp and 400lbs/ft if im lucky.
the internal spec is a bit too long to put on here right now and im sure i wont remember it all, but it should do well i hope...

the reason i wanted to cop out was just the fact its a million stupid little bits that need finishing...

alternater bracket.......
fuel rail mods. fuel rail mounts
throttle cable mounts
inlet seals and gaskets
sensor mountings
managment wireing (ofab frst)
water pipes and runs...

the list is endless.........

but i guess i will have to get there now....
