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.

I disagree! Considering all the positive PR surrounding FS at the moment, I think an FS brand Zetec turbo setup would be a hit. If price and options are right - which is more than likely if pricing follows the FS/VF eng and FS Werks structure - and the quality is there - which it will be if past FS products are any indication - I think a multitude would lean toward an FS zetec turbo, especially turbo guys.
While there are many well-executed FI setups available right now, such as the PWorks and FS/VF eng. superchargers, I don't really consider any of the available turbo setups to be outstanding among the rest. Now, we all know that there are turbo fanboys and supercharger guys. It's just preference. But, no turbo kit - precision, roush, focus-power, etc. - stands out from the other; all have pros and cons. From a consumer standpoint, I don't see any one being significantly better overall than the others.
I honestly believe an FS Zetec turbo would gain traction in a way no other kit has up until now.
Do it! Do it! Do it!
