no not yet i've really only had the turbo setup on the road for a bit over a week, it's not completley finished (well it never will be) but i can tell you i've had the boost at over 20psi and it's pretty crazy especially on poo pooty tyres, i actually have taken the boost controller out as it will more than likley end up impounded or blowing the motor up

Gotta appreciate honesty! [88] I totally regret selling my old Escort before I got the chance to use my turbo and EFI gear. I bet it's sh!tloads of fun.

Love this car, clean and simple with a now fairly rare turbo pinto. Can't wait to get some 15x7 Challengers on my Mk2.

Hi Joey,
Did you fit the turbo setup yourself?
Was it a kit?

thanks for the comments peter m - 100% home grown, only issue is gettin hot has blistered the bonnet and melted one brake resoviour, it's not running any fans so i only drive at times i'm not going to be stuck at lights but i will get back into it soon, the heat wrap on the exhaust has helped but i still need a guard on the brake resoviour as its started discolouring but its fun to drive  still needs the rest of the exhaust done as i made it 2.5inch from the turbo then joined back to my poo pooty 2 1/4 inch so more power to be made
