Unless you tune the zetec to run at high rpms it might not be the most effective power upgrade.
are you on crack???????? Do you know anything about turbochargers at all?????
JVT's post above is pretty much right on, but if you care to debate the finer points of turbomachinery, even as it directly applies to Ford's 2.0L Zetec engine, myself or several others on this board that are knowledgable on the subject would be more than happy to beat you around the head, chest, neck and face with the truth about turbocharging.
But if you wish, carry on with your use of the "SpiralMax" (tm) for your low-end power increases.
Okay, I might be being a bit harsh, but when people try to spout of information like they know what they are talking about, when in fact they are so full of it, their eyes are brown, it really really bothers me. (yes, that sentance is in the running for the world's longest run-on.)
