Not meh, my opinion they are hideous. *sigh* If only they'd bring back the Escort GT etc. Or import the Euro Escort Cosworths now that would be sweet. There are more Escorts on the road than most vehicles, yet no aftermarket =P The Focii aftermarket is huge with an abundance of parts everywhere almost as good as Hondas.

Compression on what? The focus Zetec motor is 9.6:1 the Escort/Focus SPI motor is 9.2:1 If that's what you were asking. The Mazda 1.8 BP motor that was in 2nd generation Escort GT's was 9.0:1 btw too.

Yeah he is working on a new ZX2 kit.

So far there are about 4 or 5 different turbo kits available to the Focus and Tom (Focus-Power.com) has the only one I would put on my car. As far as I am concerned, he has the "ultimate" turbo kit. It comes with absolutely everything, including a proper fuel solution (no 5th injector bullshit). His kits are top notch, you definately get what you pay for. I'm sure this quality will find its way into his new ZX2 kits as well.
