Its done this way on the Focus ST. Less materials, less distance from the engine to the turbo. Makes sense to me.
The aftermarket is booming for that car. The ecoboost will have big turbo kits out within the first year.
With a good tune that psi to compression ratio relationship is realistic. I didnt say it was safe to do on the stock motor, nor do any of us know what the stock motor can withstand.
I was simply stating that that psi level is do-able and COULD be safe with that low of a compression ratio...
I like the idea of the post, it was fun when we were all oblivious and it was early in the game. I was one of the first to reply, in fact.

So you're a dumbass if you thought a car with new intake manifold, heads and cams would gain more than 15hp lol. Alright then. Doesnt make a difference to me though, not gonna change anything.

I'll happily take the bump in power. Given the internal changes I think that a tune will provide more of a gain than previous. Also, the...
Who wants something like this for when the car comes out? If we can all agree on a color scheme and design I will set up a bulk purchase and mail them to everyone who wants at a great group rate.
