id say , if the fitting flange is the same as a gt generally which it probably is , then bolt it on and see what happens ,you can allways move to a smaller one if need be .
its a 215 odd bhp turbo on the zetec .so would suit a high end 16valver or full on matt type a series , its turbine housing is a bit big for good low rpm response ,but for mid to uppr should pay off with less back pressure , this would be a good step up for the 16v that need to get inot the 300 bhp bracket i feel .its deff worth a try ,just dont expect boost low down .

this appears to be similar in dimensions ,looks like a stonker for something needing 320 max bhp ....which is where the 16v's should end up .*wink**evil*

Well, this looks to me, like the best ever opportunity to de-bunk the myth of what exactly the Focus RS turbocharger specs are...
Why don't you grab a pair of digital calipers, and a camera, and take some pics of what the compressor and turbine wheels look like.

I understood that this was a very limited run turbocharger, that was developed specifically for Ford - witness interesting features like the unique turbine housing, and the compressor housing backplate with a larger diameter than the unit found on normal 2560's (at least two i've had my hands on from the garrett catalogue had the internal circlip like on T25's).

If you don't have measuring sticks, then someone on here will no doubt assist you...

hmm, ok!

this one looks like the one in the link, except for the recirc valve built into the turbine housing???

my brother-in-law was gonna fit it to his a-series, hoping it was better than his t3? It currently runs 18psi, and has made 184 on the rollers.

but it'll probably find its way onto ebay now!

This is FORD country, on a quiet day you can hear Vauxhalls rusting.
