Sweet car and i'd skip adding a turbo to it. All that scratch can be put towards maintenance, repairs and some detailing supplies.
No idea - it's not going to be more than 10hp.I like it! Any guesses on what the power upgrades added in terms of hp? Getting rid of the rev hang is worthwhile alone anyways. I have a urethane rear mount in my wagon too which is nice for autocross and minimizing wheel hop. I almost got your car when I bought the latest Focus wagon, its quite an upgrade in body quality but maybe a bit less torque to weight ratio at lower rpms, or just feels that way since the vvt adds so much up top. When my oldest gets the wagon the 2013-18 Focus's will be on the replacement options list!
I agree 100%. The DSG trans in our VR6 powered Passat is a fantastic transmission. Instantaneous gear changes, up or down, perfect rev matching, smooth as silk.The VW DSG (direct shift gearbox - their name for their DCT) is bullet-proof. I have beaten the ever living $hit out mine in my Sportwagen including track time, drag racing, and hundreds of launches. Works perfect/shifts like butter.
Yep, same B6 trans as the Fiesta ST but I hate the gearing. First and third is to short while second and fourth is too long. A longer sixth gear would have been nice too.I test drove a 2016 focus with the 1.0 ecoboost and a 6 speed manual. I want to say that transmission came out of a fiesta ST but that could be wrong. Either way it shifted awesome, that 1.0 felt great due to the low end torque.
Only 10-15hp max out of the NA 2.0L with FBOs and a tune - according to the FocusFanatics forums.I like it! Any guesses on what the power upgrades added in terms of hp?
Yep - no argument, outclasses the manual all day every day in the MK7s. Glad I got it. I run software on mine which even makes it shift faster/harder.I agree 100%.

I'd say 10 is pushing it without a header (I don't have one).Yep, same B6 trans as the Fiesta ST but I hate the gearing. First and third is to short while second and fourth is too long. A longer sixth gear would have been nice too.
