Who told you that incidentally? What power are you looking for? My 1800 16V Zetec Turbo has been running on FRST OFAC management for 5,000 miles now, you can go and tell them that!

good shout mate , what sort of bhp are u looking at then with the 16v head , why did u not go for the 2.0 zvh ???

My engine came up for sale almost two years ago at the price I wanted, 9,000 miles in total (500 miles with the turbo added) so I snapped it up immediately. My goal was 200bhp, so the 1.8 was enough to meet that goal. It should now be making around 230bhp.

also the reason that the ZT if done properly is much better than the ZVH. the cossie managment provided you get the 4x4 L8 ecu can run more hardware like water injection, anti lag and laodsa other crp that im not sure the rst mangment can do, then again heeman uses lauch control, does that need the ecu, i assume it does.

Cossie management is not all it's cracked up to be anymore. With proper aftermarket kit coming down in price why spend the money on a load of second hand kit or technology that's now quite old.

Jamsport offer Go-Tech supplied fitted and mapped for £1500 using brand new kit. I doubt you could get the Cossie kit on the car for that never mind mapped as well.

Good friend of mine ran his then 319bhp Zetec Turbo Fiesta on OFAB for years

Cossie management is very dated and with people running 20psi with over 200bhp on ofab there's no point

Nope, it's a standalone system that controls my rev limiter/launch control/flat shift
