Maybe where you live it's mild enough to not need AC, we're not all that lucky. Also the stock manifold just looks ugly. You're better off looking at a stock Focus manifold or one of those shorty headers could work also. Shorty headers for the Focus are crap for turbos. You will be breaking welds in no time.

I'll try to get a picture of the manifold they have for the mondeo, and the could you tell me if it works ??? Anything is POSSIBLE... sowing the seeds of love"

How the flow works ??? I mean, ain't u gonna have a positive pressure (coming from the outlet of the turbo) AGAINST the air filter ??? Also, What makes the AIR flow to the engine instead of going out thru the filter ?? I know the engine will suck the air, but the "Y" connection u have there looks strange. Also, would I have to relocate the battery ??? How about my CTA ?? Would I have to give it up ??? Thanks Anything is POSSIBLE... sowing the seeds of love"

Just ignore about the air filter and "Y" connections... Here is the picture that shows how the pipes are coming from the intercooler: Anything is POSSIBLE... sowing the seeds of love"

It doesn't matter if it sucks air bypassing the turbo cause it's all metered after the MAF anyway. I've gotten rid of that and just have a HKS Super Sequential BOV venting to the atmosphere, cause the bypass valve wouldn't hold more than 8psi and I wanted the noise the HKS makes. That's not a stock exhaust manifold. It's a custom made log manifold using weld els and steel plate. Notice where the turbo bolts to the manifold around the 3rd cylinder. 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
