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

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.

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.

Re:SVT focus turbo... in WA
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 =(

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.
