Cool Turbo update

Ok thought id update you guys on the turbo install. Hehehe turned out to be a pain in the ****, Had problems with injectors, coil pack and my stock ecu. All the problems except one however are fixed, and thats the damn airconditioner...they cant get it to work with the aftermarket ecu.

But they have found the problem to be a weak signal from my stock ecu and are working on an amplifier to fix the problem...i just want to drive it so bad. I was told they pulled about 127kw at the front wheels on the dyno...which is a far cry from the 68 odd kw at the wheels on a stock focus.

That's a nice jump up in power over standard there :

What does your Focus weigh? I'd be up for your XR5 eating challenge... mines currently at 136.6fwkw's ;)
