My friends 9psi Focus Turbo

I used to own a Focus, so I still hang out with a lot of guys who own them. We all met up at this guys house for a BBQ and a cruise afterward, but it ended up turning into an install-day. Anyway, we are crusing along this paved road between some corn fiends and we line up. He has a 9psi turbo kit, race headers with no cat, exhaust, cams, the works. We launch and he gets the jump on me. He pulls a little bit and then we stay even for about 20 yards. After that it was all over. By 75mph I started pulling slowly, and by 90 I was pulling pretty hard. When we hit the "finnish line" I was going 140mph and had about 6 cars on him. It was a great kill because he was always considered the 2nd fastest Focus in Colorado. Now I need to go after my other friends 13psi Focus with 233whp and 245wtq.

FYI: The car seems suprisingly stable at 140mph.

same here, I have never seen a turbo focus with race headers, that would put the turbo underneath the fricken car. Not to mention how terribly innefecient it would be. I used to own a turbo focus btw.

It is a modified Aerocharger kit. Very interisting set-up. Here is a pic of his engine bay.
