Victom of a broken valve.
This was my 2.0 SPI turbo, worked great for a little over a year. Dont think that this will happen to you, it was a problem not directly related to the power output or the turbo system. The day it happend the timing belt tentioner came loose on me twice, but the second time I was'nt lucky enough to just reset the cam/crank and be on my way.
The other 3 cylenders showed no signs of damage from lean conditions or detonation. If that valve did not break, this motor would still be on the road today boosting away.

Hi nice escort. I have a question did the gt sideskirts fit on the lx without any modifications needed. If not what's needed to be done. Thanks

Man you have really done your homework. Hands down. I'm workin on turboing my 2000 SPI and found this whole site so informational. you can also get an SPI controller from escortfocus.com. that one will open the IMRC in about half a second. however, it uses a switch you mount under your throttle body and it opens when you go to full throttle. that might be something to look into if your using this on the track. Once my car gets here from America I'll snap some pix and post them on my site. it should be here in about two weeks.
