Round two
The SVT line of automobiles are manufactured by ford's performance section. The automobile model marked with the special vehicle team logo provides glamour over their parent models. Increased horsepower, better handling and a luxurious interior and appearance. The SVT Focus is a rebadged European ST170 with a Duratec-ST 4 cylinder inline power plant. The difference between the European SVT and North American ZX3 is considerable, do not be fooled to think there is much similarity. If you get a chance to drive one, take it!

I choose to turbo charge this new motor to make more power and quiet the exhaust over my last version. Both requirements have passed expectation. Everything you see here in this build is entirely custom and one of a kind. Fitting such a large turbo was a challenge, but as you can see.... I did it
