x2 - I don't know much about turbos but that looks to me to be a work of art - fantastic job.

I like the rear seat delete and the two tone actually a few things on your car remind me of my set up.

I love the work on the welds I know there not easy or cheap if you didn't do it yourself. As for the turbo loaction why did you choose to put it so low must have been a diaster to run the pipeing all the way to the other side. So the big question how much whp and Torque and you said you haven't had time to have fun with it does that mean no drag times?

I remember this from [FJ]... I don't recall ever seeing numbers from it tho -- would love to see them if you have 'em!

Actually piping was not that difficult at all. They re-directed my water flow and made a new thermostat housing. The turbo is nice and close and mounted to the motor so it moves with it. I'll post a pic of the new thermostat housing and how they changed it.

When I last left Kinetic we could only do 12.5lbs of boost because my center force clutch couldn't handle any more than that. I've since replaced it with a Spec stage3+ but haven't had a chance to get back down to turn up the boost. Last numbers were 290WHP and 319TQ @ 12.5lbs boost. I'll try and find the dyno sheets but that was almost 2 years ago. I built it for 20+lbs hopefully this year if I don't sell it.

that is awesome

Very very nice ride.

Holy hell, that is one nice setup...

But don't the cops give you hassles because your steering wheel is w/o an airbag? Even the densest cop if they ever stopped you would know that the Focus comes with airbags :huh:

Gorgeous set up

This car better have LSD!

Wannabes of ALL types, this is how you combine show and go.

Kudos on a real-deal setup, man.

How are you insuring that beast? Sidelining it through or did you actually tell them about the mods?

Very sweet. Nice work.

I got a form and stated that my wife, who is 5' sits too close to the sirbag when driving so I was able to remove it. Of course she's never driven the car but that doesn't matter.

Insure it through ICBC here and all mods through my store insurance.

Quaife!!!!

WOW....:o

i better learn how to TIG weld and how turbo works..

cops in bc pulls you over because of no airbag presented??
i never had any problem past 8 years(california, ontario)..

Ive been pulled over tons of tickets and no problems with no air bag as long as the horn works.
