155fwhp... I just can't see spending $4000 on that or whatever, when you could have so much more for just a couple grand more.
PW kit will put you at 220fwhp peak and 180+lb/ft from 2800-6000rpm on an otherwise stock focus.
free up the exhaust and the power wont change much but will come on sooner and not drop off as much. retune and power is even better!
add in our cams and you are looking at 250fwhp on stock PW tuning, retune with the cams and 260fwhp is easy with the stock kit and no boost upgrades, 270+ if you want to push it.

Way better bang for buck IMHO.
No way man. I think that is another stupid setup.
T3/T4 to make 200fwhp? You could have the same hp with a small T3, and also get 200ft-lbs by 3000rpm instead of waiting to 4000.

i agree, a t3/t4 is very low tech.
the F-max kit was pretty weak back when it was first on the market and is just as weak now that roush jacked the design(purchased it, whatever). precision is a better designed kit and comes with a MUCH better turbo for the Focus. The GT28R is a fabulous turbo for a street driven focus, Ask WeldingRod on FJ about his. he is pushing over 250fwhp and 260lb/ft and is still reworking his tuning for bigger MAF and injectors.
the PW kit is and probably will be the "end-all" and "be-all" for a long time when it comes to bolt-on power adders. the only thing that compares is toms kit but i have yet to see one of his full kits put down the power he claims right out of the box. they do once they have been tuned and dialed in but that is extra work on your end.
if you want "set it and forget it" power, powerworks is the best and really the only option.
everything else out there either doesn't make the power, requires tuning or comes with no tuning solution at all.
with the PW kit, the only way to go is up. :headbang:
