timbo;c-146768 wroteOk ok you need some help planning how to spend it!
K16 is the rs turbo and has been the current go-to for decent power upgrade with 650cc injectors, but the u.k tuners have developed the tuning capabilities for the focus far beyond the Volvo tuners so you have some much better options now in terms of ecu and turbo.
Have a look at anembo engineerings exhaust and intake manifolds and Syvecs latest replacement ECU.
Bare minimum you would do to the bottom end is adding the shim kit to strengthen the block/sleeves and the Athena 1.5mm headgasket to drop compression ratio to suit bigger turbo.
Wait, they deliberately increase the squish?
