Default |Vipec/Aftermarket management for ST Escos

I have been reading up and have seen a few things about this VIPEC management.

Aparently mark does it?

I need to get an idea of price of this sort of thing, Or if there are any alternatives.

The escort i may be looking into buying is a ST and i can see me getting very bored with it even at 300hp.

So i want to get an idea of my options. Who has change st to lt and what the best way to do it. I also dont really want to ruin an original car so would be nice if i didnt have to swap looms and stuff.

thanks for that Mark

if i can come up with a well priced way of turning an St into the capabilities of a BT which does not ruin the originality of the car to much then i think i am going to go for a car ive been looking at so it quite important to get some info.

I can get all sorts of info on skylines and supras with them on and a lot do a piggyback board but i cant find anything on fords.

With a suitable loom adaptor, surely a plug n play setup could be achieved ?

I know Ive done it before with Haltech. I just cut up and old ecu to get the connector for a full plug n play install. Used all the Ford sensors and triggers etc.

There are loads of options really...but most important is who will be tuning and installing it.

It can be made easily reversable.

Thats fine if the Escorts didnt have crap looms that corrode and cause running probs, The best bet with any Escort is to change the loom.
