David, the answer is a dreamscience ECU flash. Check out www . fordxr5turbo . com guys there are getting 190 – 200kW and near 400 Nm of torque out of the 5 banger with no hardware modifications. Add the spacer to the airbox will also help the motor breath a little at no risk to the engine. All up, your looking at around a grand for the dreamscience ECU flasher, which is a bloody cheap upgrade really.

And no, I’m not affiliated with Dreamscience, there are other ECU flashes out there that will do the same thing.

Does not matter if it even does 315kmh, all these imported HiPo Ford’s end up being a

O R P H A N![And a very expensive 1 @ that, what $ burn?]

Buy better for less, problem is its always just a FORD…

darrel if this were to come her ford australia would probebley make it 5 door they even though i would like a 3 door 4 a change since it whould stand out above every other focus.

i still think this would love fantastic sitting next to my escort in the same metalic brown as mine there a way to make it really stand out.

After all the hype, it looks a little boring for my liking. I much preferred the Green.

also think the focus look much better in the 5door than the 3. even with the focus ST, the 5 door (aka our xr5) looks much better than the 3 door…. better proportions.

Needs a change of wheel too. the current ones on the xr5 would look better…..

Be good to see what it looks like in Electric orange!
