Makes sense to use all the same engine setup, saves on devlopment costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street Tuner Member 727 Member For: 22y 1m 6d Posted 29/01/06 10:17 PM Share Posted 29/01/06 10:17 PM Apparently Ford have cast a restrictor bung into the intercooler body to try and keep engine power down and under control due to the lower pressure loss of the shorter neater top mount pipework.I cant wait to get one of these things!
