Looks like a standard T/B to me. Meaning probably the standard ECU or a motec is running the show. Unless its not running of course.

I thought that was the motor that was in that thing. I was out at RDP last week and spied that corty through the fence but couldn't see the engine properly.
I've wanted to put a turbo 4l into a cortina for so long but I obviously don't have as much money as RDP.

nah not yet. still have to fit my turbo gear that should arrive late this week and finish off the body wiring and make up a custom gearbox mount similar to rollins and then start the ecu wiring.... its still about 1-2 months away... im lazy. i could do it all in like a week. but i like to enjoy it and spread out the work.

Nah it looks like the intercooler hot & cold side are both on the driver's side, probably because the plumbing couldn't clear what I'm assuming is the ("sump"?) behind the passenger headlight?
