Default Re: FocusSport 2.0 and 2.3 litre Duratec turbo kits

Question: How come FS never produced a turbo kit for the zetec?

i think at 2500-3000$ many would buy, especially if this was a couple years ago, as this is a couple years since the starting of the duratec's production.

dont get me wrong i like the super charger you guys produced and i'm actually saving for one at the moment, but i think the upgrade-ability for a turbo kit is much more. for example with a turbo kit all u need is a boost controller to up the psi, not a new pulley and belt.

maybe make slight changes to the duratec manifold and piping and produce a zetec kit shortly after? i would definitly buy from focussport


There was a time when we were going to do a Zetec turbo kit, but 2 things stopped us.

1. That was back when proper tuning wasn't really available and the cost of stand alone just didn't make sense for the masses.

2. We wanted to use a cast manifold and at the time the prices we were getting for tooling was thru the roof.

I wouldn't mind doing a Zetec turbo now, but I think the Zetec market is a little crowded and will start to slow down soon.
