Re: New Turbo for Focus - $2,499 with Intercooler?
I would say about 100% is over the 250 mark or has been
Look at it like this if people would stay at or below the 250 mark there would be no need for a stage 1,2,3 kit ,But the builders/sellers of these kits know for a fact that boost is addictive and they will come back for more hence stage 2, For 1000 to 1500.00 + tuning you can have more boost now your at 4000.00 + tuning ,Ah now im a happy guy dont need any more than this ,Yea right for 6 months he is a happy guy and thinks of how good it felt from stage one to stage two and calls and orders stage 3 for another 1000 to 1500.00 + tuning he now has stage 3and has spent 5500.00 + tuning MIC=815.00 + TUNING 3 TIMES=300.00 So now he is pushing 7000.00 for a turbo kit that in most cases the piping from the stage 1 is to small for the stage 3 and gives up lots of TQ/ power and at close to 7000.00 and labor for installing 3 kits he is at less power that just turning up the boost on my kit
I have done the stage 1,2,3 kits for the SVO mustangs for years if the customer did not sell the car or wreck it 100% came back for the next stage and im talking about 60 to 70 kits they all ended up with stage 3 kits and 30 to 40 % started with stage 1 kits ,Yes iv done it but i started with a small kit on my car and every time i made it better it was a Diff. stage and i would sell the updates and tuning
On the Focus i would not do this only thing needed for 400HP is better turbo ,return fuel system and larger injectors, The turbo kit it self on my 440HP is not changed from the first kit i put on
