Fair enough Roto-Master in Sommerton I'm led to believe. I've seen your Siera at PET a few times when I've been down there, Those little rockets can fly just they are not too common in this countrie, I would'nt mind a engine like yours in a MK 1 Escort, actually I've seen a black one getting around. Never seen it run though, but it would go that's for sure.

I recomend ATP all the way. Kyp is not much outspoken guy but just give hime **** back and he's a good bloke. Built my first std T03 and it made 184 rwkw!! not bad. Then he built me my T04E highflow with O and H trim. This thing is a beast. Awesome for a street VL.

Not being too common is what i like about it. the cossie engine in a Mk1 Escort would be the ultimate as they make easy power with the right power and have all the bits for good durability.

i dont see the point to hiflowing your turbo, wouldnt it be worth saving for a bit longer and upgrading to a gt35?

To go a GT35 he has to outlay alot more dollars, buying external gate, makeing new oil lines up mounting the external gate. And if you have to pay someones labour to fit it all you 'd probably get it done for $4,000 maybe a tad cheaper paying a workshop to do it. A hi-flow T03 will be alot cheaper than that.

yeah, didnt think of the external gate i spose you would want to be upgrading the fuel system too to make the most of the new turbo too as well as exhaust and dump pipe too but 280-300rwkw would be alot of fun lol
