use a fiesta turbo loom and ecu use the head off the orion with internals from the turbo head drill a hole for the crank censor in the turbo block then put it back in then you have no mfi which makes it a non shite system again

you wont have to change it over you can use your own s2 head and buy a spacer plate you will have to chop up your s2 loom if you do it mfi so you can fit it to the orion and the wiering is a right pain
