I WANT LAG

[Si]

why would you want lag thats what ppl spend lots of money trying not to have ...

also 360 bhp in a fiesta turbo  which ones was it as sunnys is quickest in the country and aint much more than that...

That sunnys was 400 odd.

My mates Fiesta is 2 ltr Zetec bored out to 2.2 with Turbo aswell. And yeah, it has been in Max Power, Redline, Revs, and Fastcar magazine! (power output is proven, not estimate)

Maltloaf... you'v seen the car! Dales (from Nailsea, also has Nova GSI Turbo!)

I think I would remember it if I had. Any way joking asside, good luck to anyone who can get big power out of an engine and keep it running with out it blowing up every 1k miles. I recon you should stick with VW get a mk2 turbo

It's good to see they are so many 'ex-Ford' people on here.  I grew up on RS Fords and have had 2 Series twos, and a 2wd Saph Cossie.  My last series two I had for three years, got to 220bhp with 225lb/ft torque from a low comp 1.6cvh and it never really let me down.... but then I do have a habit of changing things before they have a chance to break!  Loved it to bits, was great fun and I know what you mean about the lag.  If it's too smooth, it may be quicker, but it doesn't feel right.  I'm happier waiting that bit longer then getting that big shove in the back!! 

I do love my 1.8T GTi though, it's the complete opposite to the old Fords but I'm hoping to get some decent power from it.  Slowly hatching a plan!!

Everyone says you dont want Lag but thats the best bit i reckon?!
Cant beat the rush of a big turbo car coming on boost and pinning you back into the seats so you cant move or breath!  Then a chatter of the waste gate, let the car your racing catch up a bit, then boost again! Grreat fun!!!
