There are many benefits, you wouldn't regret doing it.

For a fiesta turbo conversion not much at all! Probably not a lot more than u could sell your MFI bits for after

oi you MFI aint shit yeah!! its just a more primative way of injecting the same stuff into your cylinders. and its not quite as economical as EFI cos the injectors on MFI dont pulse like the ones on EFI. if you know what your doing, MFI can be just as powerful. turbotechnics did thier shit with it. and that was a relatively simple conversion by todays standards.

Its annoying, its tempermantal, its so limited, its shit!

U look in the Fiesta Turbo room and see how many people have problems in there, and then look in the escort room. MFI is just a pain in the arse i for one have had enough of it.

Very impressive system considering its completely unmapable and constatnt fire.

Quite quircky if DIYers piss about with it, but for those of us who actually understand it totally its easy to get right and keep right.

The BIGGESt issue with calibration comes from teh fact that even a dipstick seal or worn crank main oil seal can cause it to run rough, not to mention a blown sump seal, rockert gasket or badly fitting oil filler cap.

Exactly my point............

in my case the brake servo was causing me problems.....a little too finicky for my liking, roll on the EFI
