It was a long time coming, due to delays with new parts and a cock up from someone ordering the wrong parts (not me or anyone else into Fords) but it's finally back on the road with a few more tweaks to come.
Huge thanks to Chris Todd and Kester Cooke and especially to Dave Malone and all the guys and gals at Torque of the Devil.





















Even the Yanks came over....
Matt Dunlavey, Project Engineer from Powerworks was in the Uk and we took him down to meet Chris and also see the car and chat about the re-installation.

 

You can just imagine Chris saying, "Gis a fag!"

Enjoy, sure it's been more than worth the wait!

top work mate sounds like a bit of a weapon! what sort of power are you expecting?

I have now sold my focus, and have a mk3 mondeo. The focus was starting to cost a bomb to run, with problems arising quicker than i could fix them, not good when I am trying to save for my first house! The mondeo is just something cheap to run, to tie me over until i'm settled in on the property ladder, then i'll be back into the modifying game

 

that is a nice focus

 

youve got the right people on the job any way

what sort of power are you looking for mate?

 

Car is currently putting out 286BHP @ 11psi.
It has been making 14psi on the road.
Off to Primary Designs tomorrow morning for some measurements to be made for a full system from manifold back.
