^ Well that would be nice if Ford does that too. It would help allot of foci buyers personalize thier cars (to some degree) and still have a warranty. If Ford has the stones to offer engine and transmission mods in that fasion then that would be killer. Hell it would give SVT somthing to do.

Well I do think the C2 will be nice as heck. If Ford goes above and beyond simply making the cars remains to be seen.

Well; seeing that NY state gets the PZEV, what sort of FI options are available with the D20E. Everybody and they momma is tuning the D23. I havent found much love for the tree hugger engine.

**CrUziN4L** · 05-23-2007, 08:44 PM

and doubt u will for the two yrs of its run.

**bryst06** · 05-23-2007, 09:27 PM

Focus Sport and there turbo works on the 2.0

**wilko** · 05-24-2007, 07:27 AM

Focus Sport's Turbo involves removing the cat if Im not mistaken.

**bryst06** · 05-24-2007, 07:36 AM

Well duh.. you have the Downpipe from the Turbo.

All turbo applications will require that. The only way to run a cat is to add an aftermarket one downstream.

...well, unless you run some wacky remote-mounted turbo, but I can't see wanting to do that.

The first two years of 2.3L (D23E), all of them were equally tree-hugger to the D20E, so I don't see the PZEV status as a big barrier.

I see...
So thats how its done.
Some times being pwned is the best teacher.

Now I need a "Turbo-charging For Dummies" book.

We've run this in circles for freakin' MONTHS now. Nobody has anything to add that hasn't already been said.

It's very frustrating ain't it, to not be able to get what we want and the world has. I feel your pain brother. Is it 2010 yet, so we can finally get the Mk 2?

**wilko** · 05-25-2007, 06:53 AM

Shouldnt we get Mk3?
The 1999= Mk1, Europe's 2005=Mk2, 2011=Mk3.

That is correct, looks like he just slipped up...

**ccubedzx3** · 05-25-2007, 01:07 PM

Since the "bold moves" sweet garbage looking 2008 Focus=90's Escort

I'm thinking Ford will follow the "Way Forward" trend, by actually going backward...I assume the 2011 Focus will follow this as a design theme...
