How much boost will that intake manifold hold? is going to get the balloon effect?

damn, that is a sleeper, I would never expect a new ugly Focus to be fast
what are you tuning with?

So, at 10psi... you're doubling stock hp?

It's strong it will take it.

Re-flashed the stock ECU. Went ahead and removed all the emissions equipment while we were at it. It's a pain but it works

So, at 10psi... you're doubling stock hp?

estimating roughly 1lb = 10-15hp
10psi = 100hp on the low end, 150 on the higher end.
That's 235hp on the low side, 285hp on the high side. But it "feels" much faster than that already and we're still going to up the boost a little bit more.
Not to mention, that this car had cali. emissions and 3 cats! All 3 of them are gone now and it's got 2.5" exhaust all the way back so it breathes so much better now. Prolly gained 20+hp just from removing the cats and other emissions equipment not to mention helped the turbo spool quicker.

video coming soon

LOL. You sound like the people that question whether the plastic manifolds on the current generation WRX/Legacy can handle higher than stock boost. Rest assured they easily handle at least 25-30 PSI. Plastic is stronger than it looks.

yeah, it'll take it just fine


BTW, I edited the first post and added the video you all requested at the bottom. yeah, yeah, I know scrolling up is such a PITA so here it is for you lazy people

[ACCLUDE91]

what, no comments on the vid?

[rexload]

For some reason I thought that 07 was the newer ugly bodystyle, I guess they switched it in 08. This one is not bad looking at all.

Nice video, but cant see the speedo!

[starchland]

man thats sick who cares if its a Ford! as long as its not another civic cant wait to see the dyno!

[ACCLUDE91]

yeah sorry about the speedo.....I was at a bad angle.

WOW! This video got more hits over night than my Accord video has gotten in 3 months
