So the only problem you seem to be able to point out in my post is to due with the air filter location? So I take that as you knowing nothing of fluid dynamics (square end tanks suck, do some research). You did not critisize me on the Turbo Smart or the use of Bosch injectors. I was not picking on you personally, and why you think I was is beyond me. I was trying to point out the short comings of the FS kit.

Everything has its short comings, its life deal with it.
I am not turbo savy, or a mechanic by any means, nor do I care to be. Heck, I don't even have a garage right now.
I have personally tore down a 69 Buick Skylark to its frame and rebuilt it from the ground up using the factory manual, just because I wanted to see if I could do it.
I realize the Focus and the 86 other vehicles before it were not up to par, but hey I still owned them. I have modified a good majority of them. And, you know what, Only the vehicles involved in a serious wreck, ever went to the junk yard while I owned them, I bet most ppl can't say that. Not one other of my vehicles left my posession that was not running and drivable, including the van that I just sold for 150.00, they drove it away
And thanks for pointing out "the bad" but I don't care.
If I did, I would have put up a post asking for peoples opinions.
Then I would take it more into consideration.
But for now I have made up my mind, and as I see it there is no other
reputable sources for an 05+ Focus Automatic turbo. I found many for the zetec models including the one that "Project Red Hot Chili Pepper" has.
Yeah some idiot can piece together a turbo, like perhaps a million other ppl have. (lets not get into that argument) but unless you have the money for repairs, let me handle it
I could just go out and get a better car, believe me I thought about it(read my previous posts), but what fun is that when I can be one of a few 05+ ZX5 automatics with a turbo. Either that, or I should just import a European Foci, but that would be wrong
I would always have to hear from people "oh the parts must be hard to get and cost alot", oh my what should I do.
but anyways thanks
