    Hi,
    	Does anybody out there know anything about Turbo conversion
    for the ford RS range especially the Escort,
    	A company called detection tecnics do these conversions, which
    are also availiable from a good RS ford dealer. From what I have
    heard there are +40,+70 and + 100 bhp chips on the market. Has anybody
    had any experience of these products, I have been told for road
    use the 70 bhp chip is the best bet, Giving the car around 190bhp
    and knocking the 0-60 down to 6.5-7.0 seconds with a top end of
    approx 140mph, is this true?? Do these products cut down the cars
    turbo lag, Does the engine go BANG?, as this chip enables the car
    to rev to 8000
		so what do you think??
    
    			Thank Jason    	

    
    Does anybody have a more recent number for BBR than in the previous
    reply?
