Why go through all the money and engineering to make this engine when there's already nice turbo ones in the European toybox? Waste of money if you ask me.

There isn't a turbo focus in the euro toybox. There is development work being done, but there are none being produced now.
It's been awhile since Ford has done a decent regular production turbo car, and IIRC all were based on the same basic 2.3L layout. Also, there are a lot of things you can get away with in a very low volume vehicle that you could never dream of doing on a larger production run of a similar vehicle.
and again, I actually would like to see someone come up with a legitimate complaint about the SVT Focus, that does not relate to not liking the appearance, and size/space/# of doors not meeting their needs. I don't think there is any.
