> well i bought the head from someone with the valvtrain in it, they have these turbo cams, for it i got with the turbo kit when i ordered it the spa kit is just the piping and intercooler, the turbo im using is a t3, and an obx turbo manifold with down pipe and hfc, but the focus forum i talk on theres this guy tom who tunes foci and he told me he can get me it turned up pretty good on 12lbs, when i bought the car i put all new engine bearings in it with eagle rods and J.E. pistons on a harderend crank all wich i ordered from focus power, the motor runs at the same compression just because i plan on boosting and cant run hi compression but now the internals can handle more then 250whp so im lookin to get quite a bit down to the wheels just before this turbo kit goes in i deffintly need limited slip cause i already have massive slip.

yes, i know tom well. stay away from the obx manifold unless you can find someone to make a support bracket for it because they are prone to cracking at the flange. get a good one made by morgan at synapse. what forum are you on? focus-fanatics? focaljet? dont trust a mail order tune, even if it is from tom. 10-12psi is about right for a stock motor but if you have upgraded rods/pistons i dont see why you cant push it to 16psi or so. the stock compression is 9.6:1 which is ideal for moderate boost as long as you can get decent octane fuel. quaife limited slip without a doubt. stay away from the others. any other questions you have ask away… i know those cars inside and out and upside down.
