Adam, if your honestly going this route, then go all the way. Take the extra year it will take and do it right. Hell, it took me 4 years to put on a turbo, for those 4 year all i was running was a 2.5 Borla exhaut and a bomz intake. :blink: , but I knew what I wanted to do to the car.
Get a Ztec, I'd save up for one of focussports packages. I saw them online the other night and they seem to have put together some sweet NA packages that will net you 160whp for a decent price. Before my car was boosted, I got a ride in a NA Focus putting down close to 150Whp and it was fun car.

Find a used 5psd tranny if you can. Im sure if you look hard enuff you can find one for dirt cheap.
