Loads have but I aint one of them

I think most people prefer to upgrade their RS Escort engines from MFi to EFi from the Fiesta however as it is a better system with more tuning potential.

Bigger injectors etc

standerd exhaust will fit if you use a t3 turbo as per erst setup, with mine the loom was for a ofac system and all i had to do was remove pin 2 (i think ) from the edis sensor and swap something like pin 8 with 22 on the ecu. very easy really just looking at two wiring diagrams for both vechiles and that was it.
thanks
