If you want that power range and want to keep it as cost effective as possible, you're looking at a built engine along with either a Vortech supercharger or turbo setup. To be honest, few people go beyond 200whp since thats the point where you need to start building internals.

The Stage 3 FS supercharger is supposed to put me right around 200-205 bhp. That should be with just headers, exhaust, flex, Stage3, and Xcal programming. But we'll wait and see if it happens.

I can buy a car for 4k that makes that power at the wheels. Put anohter 2-3k in it, and the power could be about 350whp and 420ish wtq, all NA.

Let meknow If you need a hook up I can get people deals at boost factory in Richfield. T3 turbo, intercololer, custom piping, tial wastegate graddy bov....2500$ Go that way. I'm getting that done with 42lb injectors a pro M 70mm MAF and a custom intake manifold. That should just about about do this car right. i'll go low boost for awhile and when the timing is right I will build the motor a littl ebit and crank her up. Atleast you can control the turbos boost, it might be a lot more money but you can crank it for as much as your engine can handle. That is if you have a big enough turbo :D

What kind of power is associated with that 2500$ price tag? What turbo do they use? Does it come with injectors/tuning/install?

I got the hook up on 99 cent double cheese burgers from mickey dee's :lol:

It would be a street tune if anything, they dont have a dyno. That price is mediocore in my opinion. Includes install. My guess, about 200 whp. You could possibly make 250 if you build your engine.

So no one here has the kit? 2500$ for forced induction is not bad, especially with the install....why didn't anyone tell me this before?

It seems tempting...

T3/T4 Intercooled custom piping Tial wastegate Greddy BOV. He is right they don't have a dyno so you would be looking at another couple hundred for tune and if I did it I would get some Bosch 42lb injectors to get a little more fuel. when I do it I'm gonna upgrade fuel pump forward but that would be nice for the time being. plus the nice thing is you get a bigger wastegate or get a boost controller and run more boost when you upgrade your engine. Does anyone know how much boost a focus is good for with a stock Zetec motor? I have stage 4 kent cams but that wont help at all with boost.
