dude your like 16 years old and have like no mods on your focus. do u really think your gonna just bolt a turbo on. not to be a dick or anything but i dont really think your gonna be purchasing a turbo anytime soon so why bother. anyways i think the general opinions on turbos here leans toward one of tom's turbo kits. but anyways trubenz is the only company who makes a 3 inch exhaust so i would probably get that if your gonna boost, and as for the downpipe and injectors and wastegate, all of that is included in tom's kit.

yeah that site definitely has everything you want. he also has a engine management kit that has injectors and a 70mm maf. probably could have posted only once instead of 3 times but oh well.

Not trying to be a dick huh? Well your first impression to me is that your a DICK. Give the kid a chance. YOu don't know what he'd dealing with of what kind of resources he has and or people to help him. What kind of turbo kit have you built?? What kind of experience do you have building your own kit on a focus?? Sheesh lay off the kid, will be a good learning experience for him.

focusguy61 It's a great project but it will be very expensive and time consuming. Not to mention fustrating. But the end result is well worth it and very satisfying. Tom has a great starter kit that is the highest quality and a good warranty. For injectors and MAF go to
www.c-f-m.com turn to TOm for a custom chip. Get on ebay and look up a guy called ubendman for mandrel bends that you will need for building piping if you choose to do your own. If you need silicone connectors get on ebay and look up a guy called hightempsilicone he has great deals and is very reasonable and is great to deal with. Evey imaginable size you could want. Check ebay also for an external wastegate as I have seen many of the turbonetics evolutions on there latley for reasonable. Also check ebay for a blow off valve. Good luck keep us posted on the progress. Let me know if you need any other halp as I have been down this path and have lelarned what to do and what not do do., Good luck,

Scott

Theres nothing wrong with younger adults looking for turbo kits. Look at others in many other catagories that buy what they like. Stop being a Dick, and don't tell him to chill, you came on here right away attacking him. Give him a chance. Maybe he got what you don't, money.

good for you so im 17. im not looking to buy a turbo kit though so what the hell does that have to do with anything. i've been on here long enough to realize that theres a lot of people who never buy turbo kits but waste time looking for one anyways.

hey dude. I just put a kit on my Zetec about a month ago. for the nay sayers, I just turned 20, and I have almost 2 years of work and research put into my kit. if you are looking for a manifold, go with either Tom's, or look into www.jgstools.com. That's where I got my manifold from, just needs to be finished by a good welder. let me know if I can be of anymore help.

no problem dude. just remember, if they don't have a turbo in their list of mods, don't whole heartedly listen to what they have to say....
