Yes..was running a turbo. I didn't have the wherewithall to get the fuel
system dialed in so the mixture was right. Then along came the Zetec

Gained about 30+ hp and it drove perfectly...Just like the Zetec or a Subie
2.2..only still had 47 miles of coolant hose. Oh, and water jacket
gaskets..and..and..
