AWD will also help....put that on the list...

So is there something wrong with the larger Ford injectors? I prefer drop in/plug in and not using an adapter gasket and splicing new injector pigtails. Thats just me I guess.



For that much I'd sure expect more than a rinky-dink fish tank boost controler. Again thats just me.



Eight row and square end tanks. Is it just me or does that scream ebay junk? Oh and if you could please, can you place my air filter as near as you can to any and all road debris. Thanks.

Please do inquire about the included dyno time though. Safety is key

So if you owned an 05 and newer you would realize that that is a well protected area. And yes dyno time is included!!
Do a little more research next time

that guy is always so negative. never happy for anybody. apparently he can do better than a company specializing in this stuff ... so maybe he should open his own company? at least help people out and present constructive criticism. Like hey, maybe this isn't the best setup for your 05, but ________ is. happy new years dick. good luck with the upgrades elenor, we still gotta swap tails soon.

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

J, just go for the FS Turbo. I'm happy as hell that I got my FI from FS. FocusSport might not put down the highest numbers, but they are damn close, and they do it with safe tunes. Randy had never had a engine blow under his tune unless the owner fucked with the car someother way. If you have any questions, or problems with the kit, Randy or Ivan are always in teh shop willing to help you out. With all the companies I've dealt with ordering shit from, FS is one of the BEST I've dealt with.

Only thing I worry about, how are you going to have them dyno it? They are way out in Cali. Unless you plan on driving out. If you purchase their FI products, and a LC1, Randy will update your tune everytime you add another mod to the engine for free.

....I thought focus sport wasn't getting an anymore of your green backs?

Do you have a back up car to rock when you break it? You will break it.

Nice flame war, lol.

I wanna see it when its done.

I was only upset with Fs for a little while, remember my motto.

Also I plan on shipping my car to FS and have them do the work. That way I know it is done right. If I am goona put that much ching into a ride, I want it perfect.

Why not a 5 speed swap while you're being the big balla?
