It's based on the Cologne but as any US/Euro Capri owner will tell you, it's very
different internally. Original US Cologne is also different from UK engine having
3-port heads and making less power/torque. Garrett T3 goes rather well on
any Cologne (I should know as I did a DIY turbo install on one last summer).

P.S. Escort RST was T2 fed not T3 as suggested. T2/Metro blower can not
provide the volume (pressure's fine) for 2.2 conversion. My Ford is 2.8 litres,
and runs only 7psi but the T3 still works hard to keep it fed (big intercooler,
though).
