I have a 2003 Ford Focus (non-SVT) that's been turbocharged...
I'm getting the itch for more boost (naturally) as I'm only running 5.5psi. With the stock tranny I don't wanna push it...
She's got some mileage too and the synchros are starting to be a bit flaky with the colder weather.
Anyway, it probably won't be right away, but as long as I'm looking into it, is there a quick way to figure out what size pinion I need? That seems to be the one key element to purchasing a rebuild kit -- need to know your pinion size. From what I've read, looks like 18.5mm?
Any suggestions from you wrenchers out there is highly appreciated as well. I'm thinking about dropping down the final drive ratio as well...we'll see.
