yea, but as soon as you touch the turbo, bye bye warranty and many people do not want to loose their like 10 year warranty those things come with.
the factory turbo is maxed out at 250 whp because andrew (fat n fly) has come to that point. The v6 with work will beat a focus, but i put a v6 chipped 6 speed to shame along with a 335i x drive.
I guess I have to take your car for a spin again.

250WHP max on a factory 2.0T? Lame. What's the limiting factor - snail or injectors?
You beat a 335 with your turbo focus? I barely get passed my buddies 335i and I have 60 more horse than you.

yep, we raced from about 50 km/h to 210 km/h, we stopped at 210, if we kept going he would have reeled me back in as i was in bottom of 5th and he was in top of 3rd and he has 6 gears LOL also, what are you putting down to the wheels flo? have you run at the track yet? with slicks, the new clutch and my driving being top notch, my car should be able to pull a 13.5, maybe faster. a fj'er friend that has 3 less whp and 5 less wtq did a 13.52@105mph, open diff, no slicks and roll out for a start
power to weight ratio and at the time i was running 10psi, now im running 13 psi, however he had dual intakes, chip so we still sit pretty close but id give him the win now

factory turbo is to small. he is maxed out at 247 whp and like 300 wtq. it hits 22 psi but settles back down to the 18 mark and will only run 15's because he shifted his power band so low now. he spools instantly but has no power past 4500-5000 ish, its basically a 16g turbo but i think the compressor wheel is smaller i cant remember.
