I really don't want to remove/refit a motor as I can work on this and use the old wagon while its getting done ( 1 week , no longer ! ) what do I need ? will the stock ecu work with reflash/tuner ?? really keen to get this going so any help appreciated ! turbomanifoldIntercooler exterior mods will be lowered/stiffened and wheels ! that's it ! stock looking sleeper !

Only in ba's but they dis need valve springs. If your using all the Oem stuff, ford or any tuner can reflash it. Tuner would be better, wind some boost in. Although, with all the little buys and pieces, buying a turbo motor might save some mucking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it had the plates F6WAGN. Saw a build up thread on it somewhere. Then sell the zf, throw a glide in, tub the ass end, fit widened 16s with hub caps. Paint it yellow, and add taxi stickers.
