well i just came across something really cool. i was checking out focus sports website and looking under the engine catagory when for the hell of it i looked under turbo charger and found they mak a turbo kit for the duratechs. sorry but this makes me kinda giddy. i dont have the time to look into it right now but i thought i would let you guys know. have a good night.

Heres the link
http://focussport.com/turbocharger.htm

P.S. i dont know if this has been brought up before in another thread so if not thats good but if it has... well whatever good night[cheers] [smackbum]

Oh yeah, brought up many times, and this site's creator even has one on his car.

yep..alex would be right......thats been talked about long before i was a member.....now look at all the goodies on their sight for the engine components......hehehehehe....thats the path for n/a....thats where im slowly going instead.

Lol, everybody knows about Focus Sport, at least I think. Also check out f2cars.com they comming out with the Hi-boost kit. If you interested, they really havn't released it though.

stay away from hiboost. from what i heard there customer support sucks.

I'd get a Hi-Boost kit, because external wastegates are better than internal wastegates. The reason FS sells their kit with an internal is so that the install is more disguised, but that doesn't matter here so long as the car can pass a sniffer. If I ever move to Mississippi, then I won't have to worry about it at all.

Now if I had even close to that amount of money slated for a turbo, I'd be calling Turbo Tom (Focus Power) in NC instead of either of these- truth be known. It would cost more, but I'd rather have a turbo installed in the car that was tuned on a dyno than either of these.

i have a 2006 focus with 2.0 and i have the stage 2 focus sport kit the kit is made well just my two cents.

can you change it to an external. and is ther any sound clips of the aftermarket dv's

i have had my focus sport turbo kit for a while now and the kit is install friendly and they provide more than excellent customer service support deff recommended

there's NOTHING wrong with internal gates. they're not great for 20+psi as the springs tend to be weak and the flow too low, but anything less than that and you're FINE. just about every OEM car out there runs an internal gate, INCLUDING the Bugatti Veyron..... if it's good enough for the Veyron, it's good enough for your focus.

Can someone please explain to me why Hi-Boost makes more power with lower psi? Is it a larger turbo? The way I look at it is I want the smallest turbo because of turbo lag. If you can explain this to me I will be very greatfull. The two things I like about Hi-Boost is where the Air Filter (I live in LA and it floods) and the BOV. The BOV isn't that big of a deal and neither is the air filter. So unless F2 gets great reviews from other members about the Hi-Boost I will most likely be going FS.

i dont know this for a fact, but i can say exactly from a dyno sheet that my air feul ratio is like DEAD on. Now im not speaking first hand b/c i dont have a hi boost set up but it could be that they run their kit more lean, more lean would create more power but also make it more dangerous to run, and honestly im pritty sure the hiboost isnt making must more than the fs kit, i personally on 11.75 psi to be exact im making 225whp and 227wtq and have a dyno sheet to prove it... so on the hiboost website it say 225whp thats the same exact number im pulling im not sure how much boost there running but reguardless its not that big of a difference.

I think focussport is doing the NEW tuning for the hi-boost kit...

because if you perouse fj (dun dun dun) you will find a hi boost dyno...it looks like ass

then you find the focus sport dyno... SMOOTH

then you find a thread with focussport tune on a hi boost kit
SMOOTH!!

ya thats what im talking about. Some guy got his Hi-boost tuned by focus sport he was like running 9 psi and making the same power that a FS would make at like 11.

I think I would get the fs turbo, I have other parts from them and have always been impressed by their build quality.

That is the dyno difference folks. You can get a "made for all" kit, tuned safely for all cars, or you can pay someone to tune a turbo for YOUR car. Any OTC kit is going to be tuned safely for all cars, not max performance in your car. With FI, this makes a big difference. The same thing could be done with the FS kit tuned specifically to a car, we don't know if the cam's were tuned, that might be it right there. If you tune the cams to a specific set-up, especially with FI, you can get a lot more power than just a "one kit fits all" tune.

No you cannot change an internal wastegate turbo to an external without replacing the turbo. Unless you're planning on racing full time, it's not a big deal to have an internal. If you are into racing (real racing, bracket, elimination, autox, beat the heck out of your car and load it back on the trailer racing- not pulling up to some dork at a stoplight racing) then an external is essential because if something goes wrong with the wastegate you can replace it without replacing the entire turbo. It might mean the difference between winning and disqualification. I never said internals were crap. I used to have one in a Dodge Daytona.

FS does make great parts BTW. I like their CAI's filter best, ITG is excellent stuff, better than oil on cotton gauze IMO.

see when I hear the words hi-boost I think 20-25psi... wouldnt that be a low boost kit???

or an average daily driver boost kit...

I'll just make my own...I have yet to blow a motor sky high doing it myself...*realizes I just jinxed myself*

end of post.

The FS turbo kit has brought nothing but satifaction to me ever since i
installed it. I run numorous track events and time-attacks a year and
the turbo kit is still running strong with no problems

Oh yeah, brought up many times, and this site's creator even has one on his car.
is it possible to see any pics of his turbo'd engine bay? and who's the owner of this website?
