i know not a turbo but same basic engine really, when i go my 2l focus it had a pidly little battery on it. 43 ah and no more than 360 cc amps and started the engine instantely so aslong as its bigger than this (and is calcium or silver i think if the rs has a smart charge system) i cant see you having any problems.

You want an 063 battery make sure buy a high output 1 as it's smaller than the std 075 that should be there. I run an 063 in mine with a front mount.
