What is that first turbo manifold that you used from? 1.6? still have it laying around? I'd be interested in purchasing it if you've still got it.

My old manifold was form a European Escort RS Turbo. I sold it to my friend to run on his Escort already. They are available on eBay quite often though.

sick escort dude! What does the EXP stand for?

According to an article published in Popular Mechanics (March 1981), the letters EXP are supposed to stand for Erika Project Personal car (Project cars are designated X).
