Boost horsepower by 95%. kit includes intake manifold, cold air induction and all necessary hardware for complete install. wonder if that will go on our cars as well? if they are the same.

For the price you might as well build your own since you don't even know if its gonna fit 100%. I know I'm not about to test fit a $4K kit.

Possibly not even the intercooler. I don't know about you, buy I REALLY don't want a 1500 degree turbo 1/2" from my hood. If you could get it without the piping, chip, and intercooler, it might be worth it. That would make it reasonable at $2k.

For example the intake piping that first runs beside the exhaust pipe to the intercooler, then from the intercooler to the throttle body over the valve cover, then the intake filter placed inside the hot engine bay. That all adds up to even hotter intake air, which could have been reduced a lot running a different piping layout. ATX MTX swap, rear drum disc swap, drilled rotors, ported intake, optim throttle body, CAI, 7.5L MAF, adj. fuel regulator, longtube headers, underdrive pulley, no EGR, low inpedence bigger injectors, 2002 Focus Swap

It won't work for our cars, cause our CATs are different. The Focus has a 3 bolt flange that looks kind of like a standard header flange. Our flange is a big squaure 4 bolt thing. Not worth it, IMHO. 2000 Rio Red I4 Cougar 200whp & 210wtq at 9psi 254whp & 276wtq with NX 35shot WRX TD04 Turbo, Cut Short Shifter, Strut Tower Bar, 17" ZN Wheels, Roush Springs, Starion Intercooler, NX 35 shot, HKS SS BOV, Full 3" exhaust,StreetFlight Chip

Otherwise spend less than $2k and build a custom kit and spend another $500 on a custom tune.
