One thing I think alot of retailers are missing with the Focus is that it is either the first car somebody drives/owns or the second car for a family. How many people with a few dollars to spend are going to throw a turbo in their Focus? Now that the question is written down, it does seem like the dumbest question on this board yet. I'm not interested in a turbo, but when we had the JRSC put on the car when we bought it, no way would that cheap bastard son of mine spent $3500 or more for that unit. So asking twice that amount to Foci owners who most don't have a pot to piss in is a question not worth answering. Would you spend $20k on a car or spend $27,500 on a nicer car right from the manufacture with warranty and more power before you even touch it.
Modding the car is enjoyable in small amounts for most. But the big buck spenders are not the Focus owners. Mustang, yes. But then your looking at spending atleast 30k and in a different car enthusiast bracket. I know Tom has done very well with his turbo business. But he doesn't just mod the Focus and is known far and wide in NA. Only one.
Best of luck meister but I would head down the road and keep plugging away at the JRSC. Best bang for the reliable buck.
