I know mate got a exhaust with decat fitted started it up & was smoking. Apparently focus rs's are bad for it with the cat out & no back pressure the seals leak. Got a turbo sorted hopefully be here soon but the bolts on the heat sheild were fooked as usual so had to destroy the heatsheild taking the turbo off

Your 3 door? best sticking a decent boost gauge on & seeing exactly what its running then maybe pm jimbo i dont trust the standard ford gauge. Think it could possibly hold another 3-4 psi easily but as i say best getting a good gauge.
