any chance you would make one for a price? also what price? i haven't decided on what turbo hu to use, but i think a G T3 would serve well...

thanks

WE made some adaptors a while back - I also have header flanges and could make you one.

Your welcome.

Are my pic's working now? cardomain has been gay the last few day's.
I know this post is about a SVT that has a header stock, but the regular Focus manifold can be had for about 30 bucks used, and should have no problem fiting on the SVT Zetec.

Your welcome.

Are those holes drilled for the turbo or are they there to begin with?

Also is the IHI a turbo from a Subaru?

Jesus that manifold looks very universal. That turbo looks like a Tbird IHI, but its a square flange? looks more like a IHI from a Turbo Probe, but the compressor looks different?

Reguardless you could use like a 14b or T25 from a dsm real easy with that manifold.

the fuel manigment is going to be the biggest problem, its a non-return style.. I'm sure some company makes a chip for it though, may call/ask some of the companys that sell turbo kits for the foci about how they did it...

My focus = automatic =(

yep, it's a hybrid turbo. Hot side from a probe and cold from a T-bird.
I tired to test fit a DSM turbo on that flange, it's gonna take a bit for work for that to happen since that flange is larger and hit's the tubing.

would you recommend me to go this way or get an adapter flange for a HU that I won't have to modify(ie buy from ebay and slap on :D)
