Default Focus st mod x to turbo x

Hi all, I'm currently running dream science mod x and already have the rs injectors and oil cooler fitted. I'm thinking about upgrading to turbo x. I'm just wondering who else has this and if it's worth the £1300 it's going to cost me. Cheers

I remember seeing his old red st on here and have seen some you tube vids on it (it looked the nuts).
What other mods did you have done to your car jay?
Mine has 3" turbo back exhaust with de cat, bigger IC, Induction kit, rs injectors and running mod X. Would changing the boost solenoid or a uprated actuator make any difference? I miss the big turbo kick my old 380 hp cossie use to make and this feels soooo tame

My old ST was a similar spec to yours and to be honest I don't think I would really have wanted too much more from it for road use. Turbo X certainly sounds like a good package though, but don't forget at that sort of power you will definitely need an uprated clutch and driveshafts.

I've had a RS clutch and dmf fitted as my old one decided to shit it self as soon as I run race+ 2007 st so weak clutch as standard ! I'm hoping drive shafts will be ok as I don't launch it off the lights, I give it a bit of rolling start first before booting it!
My cam belt needs doing (Volvo recommended 60'000 miles) just trying to decide if it's worth paying the extra £££ and getting the DS block mod as this replaces all the belts.
