actually most guys with the 2.3Ts stay away from most companies anyone has heard of like BAT Esslinger Rapido. You really dont need too much aftermarket stuff for these motors that is brand specific. My friend has an SVO that weighs 3300 lbs has a big turbo mild cam ported head header of his own design ($600) and makes about 450 hp. He runs mid 7s at lakeland at 93 mph if that means anything. This car flat hauls ass.

I think thats a good move In the words of jesse your turbo will thank you for you 3in downpipe Id work on the intercooler before you go polishing youll see a fantastic difference and aftermarket wastgate might be in order too so you dont have boost regualation problems.

BAT is more of an importer of European Ford parts unlike Esslinger who is into manufacturing aftermarket parts. They are a Ford of Europe parts department which is hooked up to their parts computer overseas. Anything Euro-Ford that you need they can get.
