Well the Focus isn't going to cost too much to turbo right now. By my calculations I'll spend under 1000 to do it by selling some stuff that I have laying around here and parts that are not needed with the turbo on the focus (ie, header, intake, etc.). I'll make about 200whp, maybe as much as 230whp with 8psi on the Focus. The problem with the Focus right now is that it spins well into 2nd gear with the Torsen and sticky 225's on it with only 160whp.
Also, the wife will be driving the CSVT for the most part. She wants something sexy and reliable. So a turbo contour isn't the answer, I'd concider a 3L. I guess the mileage isn't so much of an issue at that point as long as the car is in good shape. A turbo contour is out of the question for reliability reasons though.
And just for the hell of it, I'll whore a picture...damn she was sexy!
