Maybe when the kit is ready we can make some video clips to satisfy all these questions about how it sounds.

Psssshhh, wooosshhh

That Pssshhh, wooosshhh is exactly what I was trying to say but didnt know how! It would be awsome to have some video clips. I really dont think you guys know how phsyced I am for this.

free dyno session if you can get here

I guess some companies sell turbo kits without injectors, MAF solution, and tuning. We don't do it that way, I personally think its just a way to advertise a lower price.

As far as upgrades are concerned, we will later offer an intercooler upgrade. And that will allow for more boost safely.

Hopefully one of the guys from FocusSport can answer this question.

I'm around 40 miles from you guys, So i'm very interested in this Kit you are making. I have a couple questions though;

My car is completely stock except for a Marcy Motorsport CAI. What will I have to do to it to get it ready for this kit?

I'm willing to void my warranty (4,000 miles on the car) to get FI, but are the gains worth it, what kind of HP increase are we talking?

Thanks!

That was a really dumb comment, you dont need an intercooler to run it. Also, as he has stated several times, hes doing it in stages to control price so everyone can get one.

You don't need to do anything, just save some money.

The kit is being designed so you can just install it and go. No internal upgrades are needed, but certainly are not going to hurt if you decide you want to build up your engine. Your current air intake will not work, but I doubt that is a big deal to you.

The Focus kit is being worked on daily and some good progress is being made.

Power figures will come shortly.

So I have a couple questions...will this kit use all three O2 sensors, or just one and the flash will take care of the code. Same question for the air pump.

I think a whole new FS Werks site is being updated right now with a shopping cart, so some pics or video may be temporarily down. Everything should be sorted by this Tuesday, though.

I'm not 100% sure yet, but I think we'll just use the first upstream and shut off the others. The programming will keep the codes off.

We're going to be doing some test fits in the next week or so.

Who has an auto trans 2.3 litre Duratec that we can use?

And who has an auto trans 2.0 litre Duratec that we can use?

This is moving along faster than I was expecting.

Hello. Me again.

We should talk.

I would very much like to be given the opportunity of first refusal at least.

Nice. And how about the air pump?
