    you guys r right
    im loving the car...
    its such a pleasure to drive
    New turbo is a k03s original ones seals went @ 42000KM when the car was stock!

    im going to dyno this weekend...
    i should be looking around 130wkw... remember we only have 95 octane fuel available at garages and we not at sea level...

    but im very happy with 130 wkw either way lets hope i get those figures... and it is winter

    Sound like healthy tread-stripping numbers.

    How does it feel on the road?

    Think some suspension mods might be in order to assist with the traction now you've got all that power...

    car feels great

    got enough power down low for day to day driving, when u press harder & take her over 2000 RMP, that’s when it really hits, there is a bit off a spike in torque between 3200 and 3300 RPM that I can feel and see on the dyno graph, apparently that’s when the turbo realizes its boosting at 1 bar… and drops for that little bit then back up to 1 bar again … till around 5000 RPM then down to 0.6 until redline…

    I am happy with her, would love a FMIC though…

    So according to my calculations 171.5 HP ATW = 128 WKW
    Some other calculations say 130 – 131 WKW

    And then ATF I calculate 153 KW
    Other calculations say 160 – 165 KW

    What is it really?

    There was a stock Ford Focus (ST) 2.5 T that ran 176 HP ATW which is supposedly 165 KW ATF so I should be close to or more than 160 KW according to that…
