So i was looking around on the net to find some info on this an i seen that fast fords & mustangs did a turbo automatic zetec(so not all hope is gone for good numbers yet). Has anybody had any experience with turbo kits for 03 zetec with the auto. I want to be in between 160-200hp. An i know i should have got a stick but what can you do.
Fswerks turbo kit work with autos.... The weakest point in the auto is it's transmission... You'd want to keep wtq down if you want your tranny to last... But they're there
If you upgrade the tranny to something like LEVEL10 Transmissions then you can easily put down crazy whp. Turbo Tom has/had an AUTO focus!

The cost isn't that bad really....if you add up a new clutch/flywheel/lsd+labour then your pretty close to a built auto transmission....and the auto will destroy equivalent manual at the 1/4 track....

Yea... Or go the lantech route if you have the cash lol
lentech/leven10...same sorta deal...lentech is canadian tho...so maybe worth a drive up to ottawa to get it installed by the pros.
Upgrade the Torque Converter and the Solenoids from Ford Racing if they still make them and you should be fine. It will show lower numbers but it will be faster down the line.

I thought it was just for stick.
even online says it is for manual, it is not true, when randy(fswerks) sent me instruction for datalogging, it showed instruction for auto transmission as well.
the lentech street terminator is what i was looking into. Its nothing to serious. The price really isnt all the bad considering it has a lifetime warranty. But does anybody know how good it would be for a dd?
It will be fine, the shifts may be a little more "firm" but its only going to command hard shifts under load....
