no, it works on the street, it is by no means IDEAL!
of course it's not as bad as i may have made it out to be, it's not what i would put on any street driven focus.
i'd pay the little extra and go with a GT28RS or T3 Super60 Stg2, both of which are far better suited to our cars in a street application
the T3/T4 is a great turbo if you do a lot of drag racing or serious high speed track raing but a fast spooling street turbo it is not.
i have been in turbo VR6 golfs with a T3/T4 and they don't start to boost untill well into the deep 3k early 4k area...
still for the price you could easily find a nice T3 Super60 and it would pretty much swap right in! :D
