Support for the SVTF is fairly limited. It had a unique head/cam design that no one has touched and it runs higher compression with a slightly different ECU coding compared to the regular Zetec motor. In the beginning the ECU coding took a while to crack, so many of the forced induction suppliers either offered a kit with no tuning or just didn't offer a kit all together.
But now that tuning is available, everyone is jumping on the new Duratec motors since this is the "future" of the US Focus aftermarket. The SVTF Zetec was only run in three model years, so many of the aftermarket manufacturers believe it isn't worth screwing with the SVTF...there are only so many left out there and the market is only getting smaller. The SVTF pretty much got the shaft.
Sorry to get off on a tangent. So LHT out of Orlando built the kit? Nice work.
