    Bloody awesome project! Definitely content I’d be interested to follow. Here’s hoping the bores aren’t totally rusted and pitted. I do love the cosworth 2.0L turbo engines. They have mega power potential. I think here in Australia the cosworth Sierras in qualifying tune ran 850hp. I have a full spec T9 in my mk1 escort.

    Really excited and also nervous to delve into it, next couple videos we will go over condition of the kit. Then next video see if the engine is salvageable 😅 They are a super iconic engine & can make some serious power with the right hardware hence why I hopped in the van and made the 11 hour round trip to go and collect it sharpish 😂

    @@TheParrottBros the Cosworth engine is awesome, but it's worth a lot of money, the VW 1.8 T with match it on performance and they are incredibly cheap to buy and tune, the VR6 will annihilate a Cosworth engine on the way it sounds, plus you are a VAG man, less risk, cheaper to tune and a lot of money in your pocket.
