I think that's the one I got. My airbox was broken and it was cheaper than a replacement. I've had it for a few months and the mounts are already broken. The flange for the MAF sensor didn't fit right out of the box and it's a little loud. I'm thinking I may just find a stocker at some point.

If you find a FORD Focus part on ebay, that isn't a rare ass Japanese OEM part, and it says 'JDM' in the title.
It's gonna be junk.... you gotta pay to play. For parts like those you will most likely loose hp.

In my defense, the one I bought didn't say JDM. :) I didn't expect it to be a power adder, but I also didn't think the welds would break so easily.

They've gotta be good. They imported them from Japan just for the Focus!
LOL, I'm kidding...

the best thing to do with that kit is to rough up the ends the sleev fits over. i had the same kit and it helped put 110/111 to the wheels through my old auto. the sleeves are junk, the tubes are scrap aem bits.

Does'nt a stock Focus put down around 110?
I remember my dad's old ZTS put down alittle over 120 with just a Volant and a Underdrive pulley. I know a underdrive pulley ain't worth 10+ horse...2-3 if most.
