If it's the engine im thinking of....we went to pick it up off Phil last year & it's now changed hands & in a minty mint Escort Cossie. Martoon had it mapped last week & i believe it goes very well.

It turned out to be a rather good one..

Albeit with a few minor mods,(The C/R is now slightly lower)but it goes very well after some live mapping and certainly feels comfortably in excess of 500Bhp considering it`s now in a lardy,fully trimmed Escos
