Given posts flagging up possible issues with the siting of catalytic convertor giving rise to excess heat generation I'm starting to think it may better to sit on my hands for the time being and see how this new engine pans out.

Any views?




I'm not exactly sure why you would want to let go of your plus 4 duratec which is a much more flexible engine in that there are lots of modifications possible to add power whereas the GDI has no modification possibilities at all ! Whats wrong with your duratec ? No overheating on duratecs either !
