Focus turbo help
Hello all
Ive just bought a mk1 ford focus 3 door in black and its running the std 1.8 silver top engine which runs 100% fine, its had the four branch manifold fitted along with decat/stainless system & the large throttle body conversion
Now this is fine but it does not owe me much and wanna go down the route of turbo the old girl up, now ive seen many mixed things on this but im not after huge power so low boost pressure is fine, As I have said its being done on a budget so what is there I can do ?? I have seen the exhaust manifold plates so I can bolt a CVH manifold onto the zetec engine then run the T3 turbo but will the uprated inlet side be ok ??
All comments welcome as I know I need to get fuel in there too

it will cost you far to much money and a lot of hassle mate trying to turbo a normal focus
engine even more so as your on a budget you will be far better off dropping a black top
20 zetec in but doing away with the decat as it will not make no difference to the power what so ever use your manifold and system and fit the ford cat back on

Being a focus it will already be a blacktop zetec. Engine as it is will cope with low boost on a standard t3. Won't be perfect but will give it a little kick up the arse.
