GTX3076R Focus ST - PI-WMI Aquamist - Tuned by Nishan

Honestly the failure rate in the ST is very low considering the amount of cars on the road, and the amount making a significant amount of power beyond stock power levels.

I'm just looking for a reason to hate the platform a little. It's hard. lol

Using an intake spacer adds short runners and has shown to shift the torque curve slightly but more importantly allows for a PI system of your choice. a member(Ocysp) over on FocusST.org dyno'd his car with tuning and without showing before and after using an after market intake manifold. there was literally no gain that could be quantified. The manifold he used was the TTR which has a 6.0L plenum. Also the only two intake manifolds available weigh more than the OE. Turbo Tech Racing(which I have owned) and the Breedt CNC'd. Both companies did NO research prior to making these manifolds(such as dyno or flow testing, they relied on members to provide that data). The Manifold that kmac supposedly tested was the Breedt but Breedt never released the results, for unknown reasons. They also dodge questions regard performance. The biggest elephant in the room is the weight of the Breedt, a whooping 25lbs+. I flew to Seattle on business and dropped by their shop to see and help test(which never happened after talking to Speed Perf6rmanc3) the manifold and I was shocked at the weight of the multi-piece unit. It is very nice but but for me engine bay eye candy is low on the list.

You are wrong , Craig posted a log before and after same boost and timing it was either 6 or 7 lb/min gain . Also I haven't been around much too bust at work no time to be on the forums , I have a lot of projects in the works just not sharing them and by the way the stock manifold is a piece of crap flow it with the Throttle body on it and on the head it's a turd.

I long for you in my loins.

Lmfao, I miss when u would give me an Afghany gas mask. Those were the days

Yaay! More flow! /sarcasm its all about disclosure on something that expensive

What exactly am I wrong about? If they have solid proof of concept then why do they dodge questions about it(repetedly asked, as in ad nauseum)? Also, why do they insist on using companies in England(really? Fucking england!?) to test their latest revision and be so secretive? We have plenty of members that are mechanical engineers that would gladly help test it for free(I know because I have asked in a vain attempt to help Breedt)

Sorry pal, there is too much wrong with both Breedt and TTR in regards to testing and proving that their manifold "upgrades" work.

Meanwhile, I will continue to provide PUBLIC info on parts when I have the chance.

I'd trust a mechanical engineer from England before one from the states as well.
