no its not just a regular zx3. i havent fired it up with the new built motor in it still waiting for my cams to come in the mail. i’m sorry its 8.5:1 compression and it did spool at idel which is at 1 grand before i spun a bearing in the stock motor which i was running 10 psi

im down, if hes running 10psi im down lol, other than that no way. rofl. mine is in peices as of now though too, re-doing my entire turbo setup. did you make that manifold yourself? i tried to make one as well, but didnt have enough room for the elbows and the design i wanted to make while still having enough height for the oil to drain properly.

EDIT: isnt tunning going to be a bitch having your maf where it is??? the general rule for running the focus maf in blow-through is 6" of straight pipe on both sides isnt it?? (im also switching mine to blow through, pics later)

i dont think so i try this and see how i do if it runs like shit then i will change it. no i didnt make the manifold i bought from another focus owner that started his kit and i bought it pretty cheap with the intercooler and pipping and a blown turbo.

i feel your pain bro, i tore the diaphram in my wastegate, and have to fab a bunch of new piping to get a tial in there instead of my crappy HKS knock-off, then my power steering pump decided to snap its own shaft and throw the pully/belt out of the engine bay underneath the car. id love to see more pics of your setup though. throw a thread in general auto or something. its cool to have another boosted focus dude around lol, i dont feel so outcast/wierd/lonley for boosting a focus.
