All depends on what you want from the car - big power or daily driveability, etc

If you want to run big power id suggest spending more money on the PD manifold mate - have a look on archive posts on the RSOC and you'll see that although the miltek is much cheaper it comes at the expense of poor fitment (i.e grinding down bolts, leaving a turbo bolt off, etc) not good

Bear in mind going the gt28 route you should also budget for a boost controller, maybe a live map, etc, etc

Best bet would be to give Rob @ SCC a call as hes tuned a number of quality FRS (including mine) to high power on the GT28

Isnt it just a matter of buying this at pumaspeed and bolt it on and drive the car?

Hi Alex,

I was just looking at your focus RS specs and was surprised to see 400+lfbt of torque !!!!!
Is it really that much? Sounds neckbreaking !!

Ideally i want to keep the reliability i've had so far, so Rob @ SCC wont be pushing the car to its limits just get it past 400 @ the fly / 350+ @ the wheels it can run safely & reliably without damaging anything & still be driveable to & from track days, work, shows, etc

Default Turbo

If you are not requiring massive HP I would suggest GT2860. 0.64 turbine housing good for max 350bhp. 60mm compressor wheel so should spool up ok.
