Escort MK6 Van, Zetec turbo on MS..
Here's my MK6 Escort van, originally 1.8D, bought this to use for work, soon got tired of diesel and this is result..
It's fully "home built" and wicked fun..
First was 2.0 ZT with GT30...
..using Skyline Nismo pump,
..new headlining, seats, carpet and some audio..
..then came custom Gaz coilovers and some wheels..
..Then had issue with oil pump and engine was Scrap!
Decided to build new 2.1 ZT with some more umphhh..
..and this is it now!
Curently running stg3 T4, external wastegate...and 18psi
and in everyday use!

was thinking of doing this to one of our work vans when diesel engine goes but turn it round and bolt a 2wd cossie box to it as easy to make tunnel in van as rear deck is high enough anyway and as the rear floor is flat should be easy to make mounting points up for box

Mate, I love this car. Its something someone would see and say "Oh, its just a caddy!" - ha, how wrong you are.
May I ask if you have a 0-60? Also, doesn't torque steer snap your thumbs off?
4th gear wheel spin at 100mph - ha, that would scare me first time it happened

yeah, 2.0 litre zetec fly, or FRS fly, and a FRS clutch all 240 mm, frs box has quaife atb, or you can buy an atb from the states for around 400 quid and fit it very easily yourself.

2nd that!
never had similar problem. I just adjusted pot manually..I've done few MS set up's now, with OEM trigger wheels or 36-1 trigger wheels..never had proplems. I think MS is very under rated! I like the whole "diy" attitude..
