Duncan, I understand where you're coming from, but it seems *really* pointless to me to go through the hours and hours of work to put a tiny ass turbo on your car that *maxes* out at the limit of the stock motor. Spending the time and money on something that significant that has no room for improvement just seems like a waste. 16G actually isn't a bad idea considering they're dirt cheap and can make over 300whp. A race shop in WA is making 522whp with one (tunnnzzzzz of modz, obviously).

...but what if the OP has no plans of upgrading motor internals and just wants a little kick? No different than throwing a JRSC or Powerworks kit on. Both are within the limits of the stock motor, but still a choice for quite a few Focus people. Not everyone wants a turbo capable of 400whp that they will never use that will spool slower.

The OP only wants 200's which is fine for a stock Zetec and I think the K03 would be alright for it unless he has plans to make bigger power later...than I agree with what you said bmylez.

the car though is fastly approaching its end, I love her to death, but I'm her 4th owner an she was clearly not taken care of, the car "dealers" that I bought her from did a good job of cleaning the engine bay and replacing the wires so everthing look pretty clean, but she quickly showed signs of improper maintenance (fuel filter, oil changes, etc. neglected)...

...so a 4k+ kit, while it is what I would prefer it and gives a lot of room to grow, is still 4k+ on an engine that has 120k miles of apparent abuse that yes is hanging in there, but to last really needs to be overhauled

I really think you should really reconsider boosting that motor. If it's been beaten on...adding boost isn't going to help at all and may leave you without a reliable form of transportation.
