Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Forced Induction The cougar just dynoed a 269 to wheels at street flight

What is your point? Should I sell my SVT to get a smaller displacement motor to turbo to match what I would get with the larger displacement motor? Compare apples to apples. The 2.5L is a different creature than the 2.0L. I commend you on the furious output of your 2.0L, but the 2.5L Turbo is dyno proven with no disputes. I mean no dis on you, but it seems that you question the workmanship of the 2.5L turbo. the Real Estate aspect alone is astounding. I could fit 5 turbos under your hood!
Keith is the man, regardless!

you could fit 5 turbos under the hood of a focus

you better look again

Tom,

that's wicked man. Don't let these guys get to you. Seems some people can't just give props.

I wish i could throw down some numbers like either of you guys!

If Tom will send me a turbo for free, I'll write "props to Tom" on my damn windshield!

I meant no offense, but I have heard alot of negativity around the Turbo Project. It was one hell of an achievement to actually have this completed. The 2.5L is an optimized N/A Tiny V6. If you look at the gains vs. what most kits give you on other cars, it is right in line. The Cougar was pushing 135FWHP and now he is solidly @ 269FWHP with minimal tuning. I am sure that with time and effort it can reach 280FWHP. Look at the freaking Torque Curve! All of you cold weather folks get an extra benefit. Us hot weather SVT folks have to deal with 280FWHP on pump gas and @105'F. Boo Hoo.
Hey, BTW, I'll race your Focus when I am Turbo'd. Hell, I will throw cash on the race.
