Yeah, you're right, my car was back to stock, and it was the only one that burnt..oh wait..no it wasn't, there were many others that this happened, modded and stock.

And oh yes, Ford had a HUGE recall for this same issue...ah, yeah, that's right. :s

An Engineer studied my car for 2 weeks to find out what happened and deemed it to be the battery cable.

but that's ok, you know more then me and the engineer about what happened to my car..right..go back to wrenching.

yea, because turbo setups on a focus are so cheap, reliable and easy.....I havnt seen anyone with a a turbo on a regular zetec motor that made decent power, and was "hassel" free, and affordable.

Not anyone with decent power on a Zetec? :unsure:

Oh I see, you went back to stock because the turbo setup was so reliable.

and your right, engineers know everything...except how to build a focus that doesnt burn to the ground....kind of contradicting to use the engineer as your backup to what happened to your car, considering you are saying that your car burnt because of an engineer that didnt design the car properly.
SVT Motor Swap into 2000 zx3 with 5spd.
